Saltwater Hank Trio

Presented by Anvil Theatre

Saltwater Hank is a Ts’msyen musician from Txałgiiw (Hartley Bay) based in Lax Kxeen (Prince Rupert). Saltwater Hank delivers a raucous performance that blends the sound of Rock ‘n Roll with the melodies & rhythmic complexity of his ancestors: the Ts’msyen, all with lyrics written entirely in his language, Sm’algya̱x.

The melodies are a spoon full of oolichan grease- the perfect dose of musical medicine and sure to leave you wanting more. He connects listeners and the members of his culture by reliving his heritage through the music, he is creating a bridge between the old and the new, allowing present generations to experience the ancient oral traditions of his culture in a vibrant and powerful way. His stories breathe life into forgotten narratives and revive the power of the traditional language to shape a new generation of storytellers. Saltwater Hank is here to keep the art and sound of his culture alive and growing.
