“MC Hansen was both easy on the ears and a joy to watch.” – (Paul O’Brien, Manchester Evening Post)

A native of Denmark, M.C. has travelled the European continent and North America from Texas to the Yukon, telling stories, writing songs, and leading a band. “I sing in English to be more international. I’m a citizen of the world, but I love being from Denmark”.

M.C. combines the storytelling of traditional folk music with contemporary country sounds. His music echoes both his Danish heritage and his American influences. The sound of Scandinavia in American clothes – it’s Scandicana! Imagine Bob Dylan playing chess with Hans Christian Andersen on Neil Young’s front porch.
A travelling musician since 2003, he plays some 120 shows a year with his own band or as the guitar slinger with The Sentimentals who tour with Jonathan Byrd, Gurf Morlix, Ed Romanoff, Corin Raymond, Ana Egge, Matt Harlan, Dana Cooper and Sam Baker. He’s played the Olympia in Paris and the Hammersmith Apollo in London with Madeleine Peyroux. He tours all year and so far he’s played shows in 12 different countries, toured America six times and released four albums. The fifth is on the way.
