Terry Hanck Blues on the Coast 2017

Exciting, tenor sax-driven blues and soul

Terry Hanck is well known for his hard blowing sax, incredible range and gusty vocals. Born in Chicago, he was heavily influenced by the blues, soul and jazz music of the 50s and early 60s. After moving to California in 1965, Hanck toured with Elvin Bishop through most of the 70s and 80s and Bishop gave him plenty of opportunities to hone his craft on stage. In the late 80s, Hanck began touring under his own name playing a signature mix of New Orleans Gumbo, West Coast Jump and East Bay Funk, all delivered with a heavy dose of blues and soul. Hanck draws on a vast repertoire of songs, including many originals and his energetic performances spotlight an artist at the peak of his craft.

His topnotch band includes Johnny "Cat" Soubrand on guitar, Tim Wagar on bass, and Butch Cousins on drums.

Hanck is the winner of the 2016 Blues Music Award for "Best Horn."

The show is underwritten by the Pier Chowder House and Tap Room.
The Arena Theater bar and snack bar will be open.
