Hank Tomlin is a true blues virtuoso, with roots connecting to such artists as the Allman Brothers, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan and reaching as deep as Robert Johnson for inspiration. Hank has performed on the same bill with many of the greats (including Albert King, Hank Williams, Jr., Johnny Paycheck, Jerry Riopelle, Jerry Lee Lewis and Dave Mason).

In 2000, Hank was inducted into the Arizona Blues Hall of Fame.

In September (1999), Hank finally released his own CD, featuring the talents of other prominent Flagstaff, AZ locals as well. The CD is called "Arms Around My Rose" and, in addition to Hank's great guitar work and vocals, this recording includes:

John Willis (formerly of Limbs Akimbo -- now works for Fender) -- Bass and background vocals
Ron James (Limbs Akimbo) -- Drums and background vocals
Dale Caddell (Limbs Akimbo) -- Rhythm Guitar
Tom McMillian -- Hammond Organ

All songs on the CD were written by Hank Tomlin, with L. Garrett sharing co-author credits on "Their Loss is Our Gain" and "Rose."

Hank is currently living in the Mesa, Arizona area and playing with Hank Tomlin and the Tom Cats.
