Bio
I grew up with the music of the 60s, early 70s. Singer-songwriters, folk rock, folk, some rock, some blues, outlaw country. The words were always as important as the music. The music - some songs recorded solo, some with my friends, Charlie Woodward, Fred Grittner, Rex De Long, Martha Ann Brooks and Tamara Friedrich. We make transatlantic cyber music. Have started writing songs with Fred, Rex, Terry Ransom and Martha Ann Brooks.

Wow! While I have (and enjoy) most of Mr. Hauenstein's CDs, I was not ready for what I listened to when I first heard Looking At Life. What really struck me was the variety. Whether it be subject matter, dynamics, ...

Hey Jan, "The Dead Heroes Of Ergoldsbach" ist ein sehr stimmungsvoll melancholisches Lied. Und ergreifend... Schöne Ostertage Dir! Akim :)

Looking At Life - new album, October 2011

October 2011
'Looking At Life' is folky, jazzy, bluesy, rocking… chances are you´ll like this album. Story songs, some will make you cry, some may make you angry, some will make you laugh or smile. Original songs and covers, a varied bunch, but all about Life.
