Born into country music royalty, Hank Williams III follows the beat of a different drum (and banjo and guitar, as well) from both his father and grandfather. While he could be Hank Williams Sr.’s twin, his sound veers more toward gritty honky-tonk meets punk. With Hank3, prepare to get three concerts in one. Usually opening the high-energy show with his honky-tonk material, the artist then morphs into more of his “Hellbilly” songs and ends the show with a rousing set as his Assjack punk persona. Songs from his albums keep the concert amped up from beginning to end. This isn’t a spectator sport, so come ready to entertain as well as be entertained, as the audience likes to show their appreciation to the tall slender guy on stage. Hank3 has been busy recently with the fall release of a double country album, "Brothers of the 4X4," and a punk album with his new project 3, entitled "A Fiendish Threat." These dual releases showcase Hank3’s dual personality – someone steeped in country’s history, yet eager to explore his own musical future.
Growing up under the shadow of the late great Hank Williams couldn't have been easy. On first meeting him, Minnie Pearl famously called him a ghost because of how closely he resembles the grandfather he never met, but after some bumps along the way, Shelton Hank Williams seems to have embraced his musical heritage instead of viewing it as a noose around his neck. His first Nashville success (albeit a modest one) was to do a vanity album with the audio of all three Hanks spliced together. Once Hank3 forged his own path down the punk road, he released several albums under the Curb label, although his outspoken personality made relations with his record label tense. He has since left Curb and records his albums himself in his home. His disdain for Nashville Music Row politics can be heard in his early singles, “Trashville” and “Dick in Dixie.” Hank3's not an artist you’ll hear on any mainstream radio. Only his second single in 2001, “I Don’t Know,” charted, peaking at 50 on the U.S. Country charts, but his fans are familiar with his long list of impressive songs, many of which he wrote or co-wrote, including some from his newest albums, such as the gritty “Ain’t Broken Down,” off his country album. While his punk sound couldn't be more sonically different than Hank Jr. or Hank Sr.’s, you've got to think that his paternal forefathers are proud of the independent path Hank3 has walked, guitar in hand.
BAD ASS - AS USUAL Hank III plays 3 sets in his shows if you've never been to one. Hank III & The Damn Band play a Country set, then a HellBilly set. After a 5 minute break Hank 3 & AssJack takes the stage for a wild ride...
I loved the show...Small venues are awesome 2 see people like Hank III. He supports all the little guys out there that are trying to make it and all of the fans that love music not frequented on the radios. It was a rockin show and I will not be missing his kick ass sounds!! Anytime he is near us, I will be right there in the middle of the crazed country rebel maddness!! Deffinetly recommed for anyone that likes original country music with some kick ass metal!!
This was the 4th time I've seen 3, each show is better than the last. 3 hours of high energy rebel country and hard hitting rock. If you've ever considered seeing 3 and Assjack live, you will not be disappointed!
my 10th time seeing him.never fails to satisfy.high energy show as always.recommend everyone should see him.has something for everyone.
In the words of my guest, 25 year old Cobra, "Hank was Bad A-- and as usual, Delivers"!
I've never seen him before and decided I should see him at least once in my life.....WOW! Definitely impressed with his musical talent. Watching the crowd and people was very interesting; what a diverse crowd.
i have always really enjoyed hanks music so i was excited to finally see him live. i even convinced some co-workers that never heard of him to go. i was very disappointed however in all of the confederate flags it seemed like such a big part of the whole thing, not to mention all of the people throwing up the Nazi salute. i really loved his music but don't even listen to it anymore because of the bad taste it left in my mouth.
Amazing!!! Needs to play in bigger place, it was super crowded!
As always one of the best shows I've seen! I even talked my 48year old boss into going. He had a great time along with everyone else! Kyle Turly's band was also good! Now go help Hank sr. Get the RESPECT! He deserves!
Cant ask for a better show. 2 nights back to back in two cities and destroyed both venues. Hank and the damn band are unforgettable. From start to finish it is relentless HANK. From the country to the hellbilly and Assjack you will never find a better show. Even the opener Turley was an awesome act. Great down to earth people at both shows. Dont ever miss a chance to see Hank III live. THREE BARS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
This concert was GREAT!! The Ogden is a wonderful venue for this type of show. The seating and accoustics make it a "intimate feeling" venue without compromising the bands ability to rock the crowd.
Hank III has never let me down with his live performances
I'm gonna start by saying that I love Hank III. This is my 2nd time seeing this show and he doesn't disappoint. I have to say that when the focus suddenly changed direction from hip country to scremo metal I was jarred to say the least. I was not a fan of that at all. Overall though, the show was amazing, Hank is a fabulous rock star and Kyle Turley was great!! Death metal, not so much.
Damn, what a good time! Can't wait to see him next time!!
Awesome show, Hank III and Assjack are the hardest working groups around.
While its just not the hellfire show without Joe Buck and the old fiddle player its still a real good time.
Ive been to over 50 concerts in my 9 years of going to shows, HANK III/ASSJACK has left the deepest impression. They love their fans and they love to rock. You can feel the emotion and dedication pouring from the speakers, and they totally rip it up for hours until you feel like your ears are bleeding.
if any one that wants to go see a concert that they will never forget, then go buy a ticket and check out HANK 3. hands down, it is one of best concerts i have ever seen. everyone needs to check out his concert
Turley was a great! The music and energy were awesome!
I've seen Hank III for the 6th time now and he never disappoints!
