1. Singer/Songwriter from Dresden/Germany.
2. Austrian Folkmusician (RIP)
1. Hias is a singer/songwriter from Dresden, Germany. He plays guitar in the post-rock-band Chronos. This is rather loud outfit, while his solo works are that quiet, that it scares you sometimes. An intimate voice and an acoustic guitar is all he need to make you feel like you feel when you listen to Hias.
The solo Debüt "Sechsundzwanzig" will be released 01/06/2010 on Mikrokleinstgarten Records.
