Hans Erik will be performing live this Friday, August 6th, at Park Slope mainstay Bar 4.  Hans will be joined by Erik Naslund on bass and vocals and Chris Stromquist on drums and vocals.  Chris is coming off of several weeks on a European tour with the famed gypsy punk band Kultur Shock.

What:  Hans Erik Trio Live
Where:  Bar 4, 444 7th Ave, Brooklyn, NY, 11215
When:  Friday, August 6th at 10pm
How much:  FREE!

This is only the second appearance of the trio anywhere in New York City and their second show at Bar 4.  The first was back in June of 2o10.  The venue is an ideal spot to take in live music due to the nicely tuned piano and intimate setting.

A little about Bar 4:

Bar4 redefines the term “neighborhood bar”. It’s a cozy lounge and music venue that serves up a tantalizing mix of live music and DJs, cocktails and draft beers at its candle-lit, copper bar. Favored by both Park Slope residents and local musicians, DJ parties and renowned comedians draw a diverse group of devotees.

Hans Erik performed this past weekend, 7/18, at the Speech Level Singing Meetup in New York City held at the Rockwood Music Hall.  He performed his original song “All” for around 20-30 SLS teachers, students and interested public.  Hans has studied Speech Level Singing primarily with Wendy Parr, a level 5 SLS instructor, for the past 3 years.

The event was initiated by Joe DeFonesca, a SLS instructor in the New York area, and Wendy Parr.  Past Speech Level Singing meetups have taken place at The Rockwood as well as at Wendy Parr’s Vocal Studio in the West Villiage.  The events offer a chance for students of the technique as well as those interested in learning more about the technique to get together, compare notes and share their music with one another.
