This past weekend we commissioned Hank Easton to entertain at a poolside reception and dinner after our military wedding at a friend's estate in Rancho Santa Fe, California.
Hank's talented performance held the rapt attention of all in attendance, from generals down to the NCO Sword-bearers! Virtually all got up to dance and cavort to his delightful musical accompaniement. He made a very special day for us into a memorable all-around celebration.
Can't wait to hear and see him perform again!!!

Hank provided guitar/vocal musical entertainment at our wedding reception. He brings that rare combination of outstanding musical talent & humble demeanor that is simply refreshing to encounter.
Not too flashy/loud, nor too meek/quiet - he read the event mood flawlessly to create the perfect background ambiance. Hank even took the time to learn a special song we requested for our first dance, and his rendition was stellar!
Hank was a pleasure to work with at every stage: before, during, and after the event. I too play guitar, and would be hard-pressed to remain as quietly unassuming and down to earth if I possessed just a fraction of his talent.
I saw Hank a few times around town in his solo act and was blown away. As a guitar player I was impressed by Hank's skill, a guitar players guitarist. If you close your eyes when Hank is playing you would swear that the original artist was playing. From Clapton, Beck, James Taylor, to John Mayer, Hank plays with heart and sublime skill. I hired Hank for a Christmas party at my house and i can tell you, it was fantastic. I really could not believe that someone as talented as Hank was playing in my living room. The guest had a great time and Hank was very gracious, mingling with guest during his breaks. My guests were impressed, to say the least, by Hank's performance. Hanks sound system is a high end Bose system and sounded incredible at my house. I was very surprised and happy when I found out how affordable it was to hire Hank. I have hired a few musicians to play at my parties over the years and Hank's price point was well inside my budget. Why hire an okay singer/songwriter when you can hire, in my humble opinion, the best in SD for the same price? Really, I could go on and on about how great Hank is but go see him for yourself before you hire him. He plays all over town. Have a drink and listen to a great singer/songwriter/guitar player and see for yourself.
Price Range: $300 and up
