Incredible walking in here not knowing what to expect. A truly eclectic experience. I was transported to a very special place for the duration of my visit. Seeing all of the incredible music offered and a really cool atmosphere really left an impression on me. 5/5 stars!
This is a small shop, with a curated collection of treasures. You'll find most genres represented, but it's a particularly essential destination for listeners who are into the avant-garde end of jazz and electronic music. The owner, Aaron, is himself a noted experimental musician, so you couldn't ask for someone more knowledgeable on the subject. He's also warm, friendly, and a great source of info about upcoming shows in the area.
If in the Cleveland area make time to stop by Hanson. Something for everyone as well as something for a distinct freak. Plenty of sweets in the bargain bin and uncommon selections at fair prices. Shop is the perfect size, lovely with the windows open. Friendly and knowledgeable staff to help you find what you need. Say hello to shop dog Slimey. Up a flight of stairs fyi.
