"Terry Hanck is a fine vocalist, an amazing showman and my favorite sax player." – Elvin Bishop

"Tenor sax player Terry Hanck sings like he blows — sweetly, with a touch of grit…" - Blues Revue

"… he's one of the most formidable saxophonists in the blues and soul business." – Lee Hildebrand

Terry Hanck is well known for his hard blowing sax, incredible range and gusty vocals. Born in Chicago, Hanck was heavily influenced by the blues, soul and jazz music of the 50's and early 60's. After moving to California in 1965, he toured with Elvin Bishop through most of the 70's and 80's and Bishop gave him plenty of opportunities to hone his craft on stage. "Terry Hanck is a fine vocalist, an amazing showman, and my favorite sax player," says Bishop. Terry Hanck left the Bishop band to tour under his own name in the late 80's 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.

He 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.
