Wayne Hancock

Austin, Texas based singer/songwriter Wayne Hancock began writing country songs at the age of 12. While time spent in the military delayed his musical career, in 1995 he recorded his debut album and his classic country style akin to that of Hank Williams III won him an underground following. Blending honky tonk with Western swing, Hancock calls his style of music "juke joint swing" and has won the acclaim of many respected country musicians, including Williams, who has performed duets with Hancock.
