Subject: REMINDER! American Songster: Larry Hanks' UK Tour
Just a reminder that Larry Hanks' Summer 2010 UK "Boll Weevil" Tour begins on Tuesday, 15 June!

For those of you across the pond who have never had an opportunity to hear Larry Hanks of tender,beauteous bass vocals (comfy and warm, like your favorite pair of slippers) sparse and tastefully guitar picking, and revered Jew's Harpery; you'll be glad to know that he is embarking on a rare UK Tour 15 June- 14 July 2010. Please check website for details:

For those of you unfamiliar with the repertoire of this much-beloved performer (who has been singing and playing his unique style of American Traditional and composed songs for over 50 years!) you will find hearing him a moving experience-- tender singing of carefully-selected songs of the American West, labor songs, songs of Utah Phillips, Larry Penn, and Malvina Reynolds, and much more...-- and all in sincerest homage to his inspiration, the late Sam Hinton.

Looking forward to seeing you at clubs as festivals soon!
