Hank Wedel​///

ABOUT

 

Singer-songwriter Hank Wedel was born in New York City in the 1960s, grew up in Mallow, Co. Cork in the 1970’s, returned to his birthplace in NYC during the '80s and '90s and is now based in Cork. Hank’s passion for music and songwriting is evident in his delivery of a song.

 

A consummate performer, he has shared the stage with Irish music legends Bono, Shane McGowan, Declan Sinnott and Kila.

 

Irish folk-singer legend Christy Moore recorded Hank's song "Listen" and made it the title track of his best-selling 2009 album on Sony records. In 2012, Hank released a single entitled "Mighty Fine". The track was his first ever digital release and it reached No. 4 on the Irish iTunes Singles Chart within two weeks of release.

 

In the past, he has been involved with bands "Princes Street" and "Open Kitchen" and a long-standing Monday night residency at Charlie’s Bar with mandolinist Ray Barron attracts a large weekly loyal following.
