“The first time I saw Stefan Hauk play was about 8 years ago in my hometown of Adelaide, Australia. He opened for me at The Gov and absolutely tore the place down with his firey blues-rock shredding and soulful playing! Every time I see him play he gets even better. I am so proud to call him a friend and I know he has an amazing future.” - Orianthi

Backed up by virtuoso ability and a love of blues, soul and classic rock making him the next breed of outstanding Australian artists not to be missed.” - Lachy Doley (Australia's Hendrix of the Hammond)
