Jeff Hanson
Over his lengthy career, St. Paul singer-songwriter Jeff Hanson has had two misconceptions dogging him: Many wrongly assume he’s one of the Hanson brothers based on his name, while others wrongly assume he’s a woman based on his delicate falsetto. Still, none of that’s stopped Hanson from crafting aching, elegant folk songs in the singer-songwriter vein as a solo musician over three albums since 2000. His third release, 2008’s Madam Owl, doesn’t differ much sonically from its predecessors, but adds flourishes from a variety of new instruments. Hanson planned to record a fourth album in August, but after his accidental death at home on June 5, it remains unclear whether fans will get to hear what he had in store in any form.
