Austin-songwriter Wayne Hancock’s nickname didn’t come from nowhere. It’s because his “house-rocking, hillbilly-boogie” will hit you like a train.

It’s no secret that Hancock’s music flows right out from his country heart. Hank Williams III himself said, “The only guy who has more Hank Williams in him than me is Wayne.” While staying true to country music roots, he doesn’t let any genre constrain his passion, cultivating this “reckless honky-tonk” that hits deep in the soul and will get you “up offa that thang,” so you can “dance ‘till you feel bettah.”
