Cory Hanson

On September 16, 2026 at Neue Zukunft in Berlin, Cory Hanson returns with a set that links his solo songwriting to the work he developed with Wand. I Love People sets the tone: songs built on piano and guitars, opening into electric passages, steady grooves and arrangements with space. Hanson sings and plays guitar and keys, moving between ballads and more driving pieces, with a focus on melody and sharp, unfussy structures.

He’s joined by the same crew from last year’s Vertigo sessions: Robbie Cody, Evan Backer on bass and arranging strings and horns, and Evan Burrows on drums and percussion. Onstage, the group favors clear, road-tested interplay; riffs stay concise, harmonies sit close, and the rhythm section keeps the pace without crowding the songs. Whether you discovered him through the Wand catalog or his solo records, this show traces a throughline between both and brings the material into a lean, direct live form.
