Nashville-based, Duluth-raised singer-songwriter Sydney Hansen has been expanding her sound from straight, cry-in-your-whiskey country to more rough-and-tumble southern rock. A concert video posted to YouTube last fall features a performance of Bob Dylan’s “Knockin’ on Heaven’s Door.” Hansen gives the song a sweet, smouldering reading while her electric band delivers a big guitar-solo finish. It’s the kind of work that wouldn’t sound out of place at the beautiful Ryman Auditorium or a rowdy Macon, Georgia, street dance. Hansen’s band features Don Douglas on electric guitar, Jim Holbeck on bass, Dave Patterson on drums, Paul Jones on steel guitar, Mark Wiita on piano, and David Ridson on fiddle.
