Outlier Profile - Hank Stone

back to Who Are These Guys?

 
 
 
Hank Stone
 
Hank is a kindred musical spirit and a very talented one at that. Writing his own tunes, he has become somewhat of a legend on the local music scene. Hank, a good friend of our own Mark Loebl, has become an Outliers fan - something we treasure given Hank's enormous talent. Check out Hank's web site to learn more about him and check out some of his songs. Hank's day job (night job actually) is working for the US Postal Service, and as Hank says, "No, I've yet to go 'Postal'."
