Hank Ewert
Hank grew up in Kingsville and Riviera, Texas, where he developed a love for reptiles, being outdoors, and seafood. His older brother Bill introduced him to rock and roll before Hank learned to read - which evidently had an impact! Hank worked in education for 47 years; however, his passion has always been music - reading about it, listening to it, collecting it, and talking it. His fascination with blues (especially Antone's Blues Club in Austin, Texas) earned Hank a role as correspondent for Living Blues magazine in the late eighties and early nineties. Hank has traveled considerable distances to hear well-known and unknown musicians, to flip through mountains of vinyl discs, and to see the roads travelled by his idols.
