He plays an amplified acoustic guitar and harmonica. He is known as one of the best "harp-in-a-rack" players in the world.

Hans' singing is very powerful. His voice is comfortable singing many styles of music ranging from mellow folk ballads to growling boogie blues.

Hans' songwriting is one of his most notable assets. He has recorded over 70 of his songs on his 13 independent record releases.

Hans has been a full time performing musician since 1972. He tours all over the world, but most of the time he travels the highways in Arizona where he has an amazing reputation of being a solo act that can rock a nightclub all night long..

"Olson managed a delicate blend of the grim boogie blues of John Lee Hooker, the wistful introspection of Bob Seger and the raw urgency of early Bob Dylan". ~Joel Selvin, San Francisco Chronicle.

Hans Olson has been making albums since 1973. His unique style has garnered him international acclaim and attention, but he never achieved the commercial success to become a household name. These days he has retired from touring and only plays all over the State of Arizona at festivals, honkytonks, biker bars, and music Halls in every part of the State.
Has has not done a full commercial original album in the United States since 1995. He didn't plan to ever do another album and now, 18 years later, he has a new album that takes a decidedly different path from the hard Blues he is best known for playing. This album, "Dust to Dust" is a songwriter album with a lot of old school country licks and Blues darkness.
