Joe E. Hanson

Joe E. Hanson makes music about what it costs to stay.

His songs live in the hours after the kids go to sleep — quiet houses, long driveways, promises worn down to their bones. He writes about love that went past the point where smart people leave, about the dark that doesn't announce itself, about what it means to still be here when everything else changed.

He's been making music since there was nothing else to do.

Take it with you.
