Hank Hooper

About Me

Hank Hooper grew up in the town named for his family of banjo farmers, "Hooperville". After spending his days plucking the high banjo stalks on the farm, he spent his evenings on the porch for his family's nightly hootenany. It was here he learned the instruments and musical styles of his people and their friendly animal and robot pals. MUSIC FOR KIDS in the SCHOOLS program now being offered!
