Up-and-coming folk-rock singer-songwriter Jim Hanft with singer Samantha Yonack will head out on a tour starting Oct. 2 supporting British singer-songwriter Neil Halstead.
Philadelphia-born Hanft is gaining recognition for crafting songs of uncommon honesty, telling stories of life’s quiet moments and turning points, relations and temptations, loves and losses. Accompanied by his musical partner Yonack’s pure harmonies, he creates a modern musical landscape rooted in the raw, yet nuanced strength of his words and performance.
Produced by Lasse Mårtén (Lykke Li, Shout Out Louds, Peter, Bjorn & John), WEDDINGS OR FUNERALS initially was released in Sweden by Veranda Independent Records. and then in the U.S. on April 10, 4 songs off the album were recently picked up by Starbucks radio.
