will be a RARE Southern California opportunity to hear American Songster: Larry Hanks, best known as a "folksingers' folksinger" who has been delighting audiences for over 50 years with his deep bass voice, sparse acoustic guitar accompaniments, and acclaimed Jew's Harp playing. A favorite of the club and festival audiences, Hanks is probably best known for his classic "folk" song, "Apple Picker's Reel".
Larry can be heard on recordings of David Grisman, Jody Stecher & Kate Brislin, Mike Seeger, and many others; and has performed with Utah Phillips, Gordon Bok, Fred Holstein, Martyn Wyndham-Read, Elizabeth Cotten, Malvina Reynolds, Geoff Muldaur, and on and on...
Now performing with wife and musical partner, Deborah Robins, the two are becoming even more beloved for an eclectic repertoire of American traditional, work, blues, and political songs; the music of Utah Phillips, Larry Penn, Leadbelly, Sam Hinton, Stephen Foster; and others in the pantheon of American vernacular/working people's music. Actively touring Europe, the UK, and US, Hanks & Robins bring a warm and homey stage presence, most comfortable in creating an intimate musical evening, long remembered by all in attendance.
The Boston Globe's Folk Music Critic, Scott Alarik, calls their brand new CD, "NO HIDING PLACE", "A drop of the pure!" John Cohen of The New Lost City Ramblers, describes their harmonious singing as "Wonderful and challenging!"
