Hanni El Khatib

With his blend of blues, garage, folk, and gritty rock & roll, San Francisco native Hanni El Khatib first made a name for himself with a pair of singles on the Innovative Leisure label in 2010. The stripped-down bluesy rock of his 2011 debut album recalled acts like the White Stripes and Jon Spencer and was further nurtured on his 2013 Dan Auerbach-produced follow-up. His music has been heard in a number of prominent television placements. ~ Timothy Monger
