Testimonials
“When I saw that Greg Hanson was leading the sound crew, I was very pleased... Greg and his crew were attentive to every detail of our mix needs on stage... Greg demonstrated his knowledge and skill by simultaneously mixing the room and stage, all while monitoring a stereo feed out to a portable recording unit. The audio feed to the portable was so good, that we use it on our band website for samples of our product. I would not hesitate to hire him and any crew that he would lead for our future sound needs... ”
“On the few occasions that I’ve worked with Greg Hanson, he’s been nothing but the consummate professional. I’d recommend him to anyone. He’s a quick learner, fast on his feet, and great at problem solving on the fly. His attitude is always positive, and he’d be a welcome addition to any team or company.”
“Gregory Hanson quickly became an integral part of my creative process when it came to the production of my two albums in the last two years. He has played acoustic and electric guitar on the majority of my professional music, engineered multiple sessions with me and for me, and recently spent his precious time mixing my final portfolio for my Master’s program. Among his many qualities, including his incredible musicianship and personal relation skills, I would say that his impeccable work ethic shines the most in my eyes. Gregory holds himself to the highest standards with ease and grace in every environment he encounters, making phrases like “we’re only human” seem conditional. He is hardworking, efficient, dedicated, compassionate, selfless, honest, understanding, talented, and hilarious on a bad day! I am fortunate, appreciative, and satisfied with everything he works on for me and would recommend his unfaltering skill sets to anyone.”
““My ensemble and I have had the privilege and pleasure of working with Gregory Wayne Hanson Jr. twice a week as a bandleader for the past summer and I can state unequivocally that he is one of the most talented and professional individuals I have ever worked with in any field and anyone who is fortunate enough to have him on their team will do better work because of it. Also, there are some really great photos of him as a teenager in his Facebook feed. Five stars and two thumbs up.
”
“Greg Hanson was so much more than my recording engineer. He was my springboard, my consultant, an innovative musician to work with, and a patient educator in all things technical and musical. His creativity, dedication and artistry brought about the realization of my wildest dreams with his talented work on my debut album as a guitarist, bassist, percussionist, sound engineer and producer. It was truly an honor to work with him and I hope we will work together again in the future!”
