Amazing performer & excellent personality!

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!

Hired as: Singing Guitarist

What to expect

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...

About

I have several long and short bios on my official website Hank Barbee dot com

Additional booking notes

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 :)
