Terry has never lost his unbridled enthusiasm and fearless youth--in his playing, songwriting or his personality. He has travelled from his hometown of Chicago to Southern California to the Bay Area and finally to the south coast of Florida; from the 1960s Berkeley-based Grayson Street Houserockers to ten years with the great Elvin Bishop. He has lead his own band for over 25 years. In 2014, with his gorgeous tone( sax AND voice!), classic songwriting and a few choice covers, he brings it--and brings it on home for us one more time.
"Hanck whispers, soars and honks his way through music that's filled with joy and soul, and that's more than you can say about most music available on the airwaves these days. "
- Jim White, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette
