Bio
"Hank Shreve is quite simply one of the best harmonica players I have ever heard. He is a fiery, open minded, unique, musical harmonica player that can share the stage with any living player of any ability and hold his own or out shine them. He is a monster musician and a great person on top of that!"                                                    "Hank Shreve is quite simply one of the best harmonica players I have ever heard.
