Stuart, FL – (May 19, 2008) Back by popular demand, Eric Hansen and his brand of hot ‘n sexy flamenco jazz will be returning to Stuart’s RiverWalk Stage, Sunday, June 1, 4–7 p.m.   

Coming from Miami, Eric Hansen and his band the Hansenhaus Sextet offer up a sexy and contemporary blend of Flamenco music married with jazz and classical music and including some exotic rhythms from Latin America and Middle East percussion for added flavor. At a young age, Eric always had a fondness for classical, jazz and flamenco music, the music of Carlos Montoya and Andres Segovia struck a chord with him.  But now his influences come from all over, including pop culture.  In 2005 Eric released the critically acclaimed, ‘Across the Universe: A Beatles Journey’, where he combines traditional flamenco with his not so traditional interpretations of classic Beatles tunes. 

The RiverWalk Jazz series found Eric Hansen through the suggestion of downtown retailer John Bella from Bella Jewelry and Gifts where among other things he sells music.  “Eric Hansen is one of our best sellers.  I learned about Eric from his previous record label when they sent me a demo CD.  I was hooked and placed an order immediately.”  

When asked if he had a favorite CD of Eric’s, John Bella says, “I’m leaning towards Colores de Alma, but the Beatles one is total departure from his regular style and is a lot of fun. I really love them all and look forward to seeing him in person at the RiverWalk Jazz Series.”
