On Tour: Hank III with Assjack

Hank Williams III is hitting the road with Assjack next month, in support of a long-anticipated Assjack release.

If you're unfamiliar with his story, Hank Williams III is the grandson of country legend Hank Williams, Sr. and the son of Hank Williams, Jr. He also puts on a hell of an amazing show.

The last time I saw Hank III, he played for three hours, and it consisted of three sets. The first set was a set of straight up old school honky tonk music. His second was a power-charged, cowpunk/psychobilly set. Then, for his third and final set, he returned to the stage with Assjack, and a played a brutal set of blistering metal.

And all three sets were amazing. Seriously. Go see him.

Tour dates are listed below.
