Project Overview
Hans Mayer has been a crowd pleaser at festivals, fairs, theaters, colleges, conventions, schools (K-6), libraries, children's museums, and on radio and television. Hans plays infectious, catchy, acoustic based original music with a slice of bluegrass, a tinge of reggae and a little bit of swing. People of all ages are immediately attracted to his playful personality and his true-to-family-life songs. His award-winning albums for families are hits with kids, parents, teachers and grandparents.
