Larry Hanks and Deborah Robins Set for Concert at Sandglass, 6/1

In a rare opportunity to see and hear Larry Hanks, a legendary songster from the west coast. Larry and his wife and musical partner, Deborah Robins, take to the stage at Sandglass Theater 7PM on Wednesday, June 1st.

Larry Hanks sings songs of other people's complicated lives in an uncomplicatEd Manner. Larry's earthy and deeply resonant voice draws us into worlds of people and places where we may never otherwise go. Together, they elegantly embroider landscapes that never existed, save in song.

For decades, Hanks has been delighting audiences with his rough-hewn bass vocals, tastefully spare 6- and 12-string guitar accompaniments, and virtuosic Jew's Harp playing. Listeners respond warmly to his easy, unpretentious mannerisms, and a loving approach to the repertoire he painstakingly selects to reflect the many facets of the human condition. Larry Hanks brings charm, depth, and a heart full of tenderness to every song he sings.

Influenced by the music of Sam Hinton, Leadbelly, and Woody Guthrie, Hanks is also known for his many old songs of the American West-- both sad and rollicking cowboy and work songs, topical and political songs, and Traditional American ballads. A..

After a lengthy hiatus, Hanks has come back to his first love of performing and recording, with a recent successful 2010 UK "Boll Weevil Tour", brand new album with Deborah Robins; and increasingly active live-performance schedule.

Larry Hanks & Deborah Robins' will feature songs from their first duet album, "No Hiding Place". Sandglass Theater is fully accessible. Reservations are recommended; tickets available on Brattleborotix.com <http://Brattleborotix.com/> and at Maple Leaf Music $15.00 and $12.00 seniors and children.
