Post Description

Originally from the Eastern part of Switzerland, Hank works and lives in Bern where he sells guitars. The Directors are Hank's longest stage pals, although each one of them is also heavily involved in other music projects. Ironically, Hank is best known in the USA due to his concert tours in the South whereas he goes largely unnoticed in Switzerland.

After six outstanding releases for CrossCut Records Hank Shizzoe & The Directors hooked up with Blue Rose Records in 2007 and released the widely acclaimed album "Headlines." During the following tour they recorded "Live In Motown" in Stuttgart, Germany. The title pays tribute to the city's main industry. What you get with this 2CD plus DVD release is one entire show in fine audio and movie quality. No overdubs, no tinkering, no nothing. Just honest handmade music by a fantastic four piece outfit, all live, all real. Rolling Stone magazine writes: «Those who care about these things have been knowing for a long time that Hank Shizzoe is the best roots-rock songwriter and guitar player who‘s not hailing from the US. And that he would still be one of the best even if he came from the Promised Land.
