Jim Hanft is an American singer/songwriter signed to Veranda Records in Sweden. Armed with female harmonies and a broken harmonica, Jim Hanft makes modern folk music with balls and sensitivity. After touring internationally, performing a residency at LA's Hotel Cafe & having multiple songs on network TV, Jim Hanft released his second full length album, Weddings Or Funerals in October, 2010. The alternative style of producer, Lasse Marten (Peter, Bjorn & John, Lykke Li and the Shout Out Louds), the honesty of Jim Hanft's lyrics and the purity of Samantha Yonack's harmonies create a modern musical landscape rooted in storytelling & raw unaltered performances.
