Matt Hansen

Matt Hansen brings his distinctly outlined pop signature from Nashville to Hamburg. On 18 October 2026 the American songwriter will play at the Gruenspan, Große Freiheit 58, and puts at the forefront what his tracks are built on: voice, storytelling, and melodies that develop from quiet verses into increasingly full choruses. Between alternative pop and melodic pop-rock, he relies on stripped-down, direct productions in which guitars, keyboards and modern rhythms leave space for lyrics about relationships, disillusionment and new beginnings.

He first became known as Matthew J Hansen with songs like "Dancing In The Sky" and "Better Off" before streamlining the project under the name Matt Hansen. Since then he has mainly released singles, closely aligned with the dynamics of streaming and social media, focusing on clear hooks rather than traditional album formats. Live, this means songs that work without detours, supported by a present voice and arrangements that build tension instead of overloading it. In Hamburg he will present a selection of his single releases—ranging from early pieces to current tracks—in a set that brings the intimacy of his lyrics to the stage.
