Terry Hanck Blues Band

  • Empress Theatre 330 Virginia St. Vallejo United States (map)

As Living Blues writer Lee Hildebrand testified, “Hanck is one of the most formidable saxophonists in the blues and soul business. He has a virile tone and attack and an uncanny command of upper-register notes.” But whether it is a joyous jump blues romp or a steamy slow dance of a stroll–this is the kind of music that has mattered to the tall tenor man all his life…

Hanck wails like a big dog on sax and vocals..." -Paul Libertore, Marin Independent-Journal "His fiery reed work, beautiful tone and effortless, inventive melodies make for thoroughly enjoyable listening.... his voice is a marvel. He can make it growl, ache, croon, moan, and tease, and then some. It is a superb instrument in its own right." - Joseph Jordan, Golden Gate Blues News (SF)

Three-time Blues Music Award winner, Terry Hanck is in the modern pantheon of tenor sax greats. His sound is at the nexus of classic New Orleans R&B, Chicago blues and soul, West Coast honk and Memphis rock and roll. The guy has a voice that still makes women swoon.
