​

On his debut album Confluence, guitarist Brett Hansen and his band weave their way through twelve original compositions, traversing folk inspired melodies, sprawling ambience, gentle ballads, and rock inspired epics. The album was recorded by multiple Juno winning engineer/producer Paul Johnston and co-produced by Edmonton based singer/songwriter Mallory Chipman. Confluence is tender but fierce, complex but intuitive, and relatable but fresh. It showcases Hansen’s focus on lyricism in both writing and performance while showcasing traits of modern jazz/improvised music with contemporary production techniques.

"Hearing Hansen play, with his clear tone and fleet way of constructing single-line runs, brings to mind John Abercrombie who possessed one of the purest sounds on the six string."
