Hank Cramer: One of the best-loved folksingers in the American West. He’s known for his booming bass voice, smooth picking on a vintage flat-top guitar, and a wry sense of humor. Hank’s repertoire is a mix of original, traditional, and contemporary folk songs. They tell the stories of cowboys, sailors, soldiers, miners, adventurers, and just plain drifters. That fits with Hank’s life story: he has been an underground miner, a professional soldier, shanty-man on a square-rigged sailing ship, wrangler for a high-country outfitter, and a world traveler. Those experiences make Hank’s music ring with a special authenticity.

Performing Board Members: Our Board includes several performers: David Kessler, Helen Gilbert, Dan Roberts, and Lynn Applegate. From this quality crew we’ll offer a brief opening act for Hank!

Sunset Hill Community Hall: A beautiful 1920s Community Hall in the Sunset Hill neighborhood (NW 66th Street). Since updated to be ADA accessible. A welcoming neighborhood venue with an open design, white oak floor, and vintage feel.

MARITIME FOLKNET is a federal 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to preserving maritime culture and history, and encouraging people to explore and participate in that culture and history. We do this primarily through the music that highlights our boats and the people who work them, especially in the Pacific Northwest. (maritimefolknet.org)
