Peter Hans

Crimson Fool

Peter was born and raised in Minnesota and had a passion and understanding of music long before he had ever picked up an instrument. As a child, drawing pictures of guitars, microphones, and P.A. columns sparked his interest to learn how to play music and follow a path laid before him. In his elementary years, Peter was inspired by his older brother and would listen to him play in garage bands...and this is where it all began! His passion for the guitar was all consuming and intoxicating. After graduating High School, Peter began to play in bands and has played for a variety of original rock groups all over Minnesota and other states such as Colorado, Florida and California. In college Peter studied music theory and music therapy and since has even given giving guitar lessons as well as volunteered his time and talents to enhance the lives of people with physical and mental disabilities, by performing at Health Centers and Nursing homes. Peter Hans is a highly seasoned live and studio musician, and has performed concerts opening for national acts such as Cheap Trick, Joan Jett, Lynard Skynard and Hank Williams Jr...to name only a few.

Peter is a passionate musician who can rock anything with strings on it! Peter's versatile and complex style is unique and creative, giving Crimson Fool their energetic sound! But... when Peter hits the stage, he becomes "Guitwaro" - A super rock guitar villain who creates musical mayhem where ever he goes. With "Jessica" (his guitar that is possessed by the spirits of guitarists past) Guitwaro is able to collect the energy and life force of listeners through the screams of his guitar, giving him immortality while feeding his guitar "Jessica" with greater strength and power of persuasion. Together Guitwaro and "Jessica" create a mass hysteria of music driven fanatics, following Guitwaro's every command. From banging their heads to "throwing the sign" of rock-n-roll, Guitwaro has total control of their minds, hearts and will.
