groovy rhythms, bluesy guitar riffs, and raspy baritone vocals = an evening of engaging entertainment
Hank was easy to work with and provided the most amazing sound for my mother’s birthday party! He was eager to ensure we enjoyed the set list and was a great communicator. We would hire him again in a heart beat and most definitely plan to! Thank you for the most fun night we’ve had in a while!
Response from Hank Barbee:
Melissa! Thanks for the positive review! I thoroughly enjoyed meeting your family and I had a great time with you all. Take care and hope to book again sometime!

On time, professional, courteous; I can "work the crowd" as much or as little as you require. I can pump them up into a more energetic mode, or I can play beautiful chilled out, but not LAME, background music.
Stellar guitar playing. Raspy baritone storyteller type of voice- I should really be narrating somewhere on my off nights...
I have several long and short bios on my official website Hank Barbee dot com
I have adequate sound and lights for intimate/small venue shows. For extra charge I am able to rent all the additional sound gear, fancy lights, fog machines, horn players, and pretty backup singers that a client may request :)
