Saxophone sensation Terry Hanck returns to at Harrah’s Tuesday Night Blues on Aug. 23. The house band is the Buddy Emmer Blues Band. A saxophone superstar with a bent for vintage rock and roll, Terry Hanck is a beloved headliner. He lives in Florida, but spends most of summers in California, where he built a fan base from 1977-87 when he was in Elvin Bishop’s band during its heyday of hit songs.

Hanck won the Blues Music Award for Instrumentalist, Horn, in 2017, 2016 and 2012.

Hanck’s blues-based sound is flavored with early rock and roll — when the saxophone, and not guitar, was the featured instrument. A Chicago native, Hanck was inspired by the blues at a 1962 B.B. King concert.
