Biography

Hank Schlinger is a songwriter/guitarist/singer originally from Dallas, Texas. Hank's pop/rock and AAA songs are guitar-driven with catchy melodies, good hooks and thoughtful lyrics. His style has been compared to Tom Petty, Neil Young, and Matthew Sweet. Hank (solo and with a band) has played venues in Los Angeles including The Gig, Crooked Bar, Genghis Cohen, Scruffy O'Shea's and Canter's. He has also played live on radio stations in Texas and Massachusetts and his songs have been featured on college radio stations and on KLOS' Local Licks program. Hank is seeking a record or publishing deal or to place his songs in films or television.

Hank's debut CD, One More Invention, garnered praise from several music magazines:

"I could easily hear each and every one of them on the radio. Great guitar sounds are everywhere, as is Hank's folkish harmonica. His voice is also better than most of today's sound-alike 'alternatives'... The arrangements are all tight and energetic, and the songs all seem to have a message or story to them."
