With a harmonica in hand and a voice steeped in soul, Hank Mowery channels the raw emotion and storytelling tradition of classic blues while infusing it with a modern edge. Emerging from the vibrant Midwest blues scene in the 1990s, Mowery cut his teeth as the frontman of The Hawktones and as General Manager of the legendary Rhythm Kitchen Café, where he shared the stage with blues icons like Pinetop Perkins, Gary Primich, and William Clark.
Mowery’s music is a testament to the enduring power of the blues—gritty, heartfelt, and unflinchingly honest. His 2014 release, ACCOUNT TO ME, earned national acclaim and the prestigious Best Self-Produced CD award from the International Blues Challenge. The follow-up, EXCUSES PLENTY, solidified his place in the modern blues landscape, topping charts and resonating with audiences across the globe.
Mowery brings authenticity, passion, and a deep respect for the genre’s roots. The electric live performances, different textures in the music and strong musicianship are causing people to stop and take note of this formidable blues/roots outfit. Whether it's a gritty Chicago standard, a driving Texas shuffle, or smooth West Coast swing, when you hear it, you’ll know—it’s Hank Mowery. And you’re going to like what you hear.
