Hanni El Khatib

Buzzy LA-via-SF blues-punk rocker Hanni El Khatib knocks out distorted riffs and soulful growls sure to appeal to fans of the White Stripes and the Black Keys. Khatib, of Palestinian and Filipino descent, also churns out some unexpectedly sweet songs like “Penny,” which caught the full attention of local radio stations last year. Head out to the desert to hear him play behind his new album, Moonlight.
