Hank Barbee

Hank Barbee rose to regional fame as the leader of Amerigo Poppy, as his songwriting and guitar work played a decisive role in taking the indie-rock group to the cusp of an almost international success story.

A truly celebrated and uniquely gifted guitarist, even known in some circles as “The Tonemaster”, Hank has cataloged an impressive résumé as a sideman, composer, producer, bandleader, songwriter and now, singer/recording artist.

With a talent for performing on any instrument possessing a string, his creativity and mastery of his musical craft has become overlooked in recent days, generally due to his incredible stage presence and cut to the bone lyrical messages. The encompassing rasp of his baritone voice continues to melt hearts and break down the barriers of those who hear him.

In the current landscape where watered-down-pop-country bands and bad hip-hop are burying any genuine human messages of love, unity or resilience, Hank Barbee proves that with beautiful guitar playing and honest songwriting there is still room for traditionalism and class in American pop-culture.

Far and wide, there is an overwhelming response to the latest incarnation of this man they call Hank Barbee. Come see for yourself.
