Hank Shreve

Hank Shreve began his passion for music at the young age of 8. Parents Bill and Laurie Shreve and great friend, Willie Webber, always had a band, so there was instant inspiration.
He first started playing when one of the band members (Dino Albaugh) left his harmonicas at the house, Hank was immediately attracted to the harmonica, so he picked one up and began playing, as if it were calling to him. No lessons or anything. Over the next few years, Hank proceeded pick up drums, guitar, piano, bass and vocals.
