Over the past 4 or 5 years Hank has been a guest performer with Wingnut, and is now a "certified" member.

Wingnut formed in 1997 in Ithaca, New York. It's the trio of Michael Stark on Hammond organ, rhodes, & microsynth, Walt Lorenzut on electric bass & gadgets, and Zaun Marshburn on drums. Stark, Lorenzut, and Marshburn are all extraordinarily versatile instrumentalists who participate in a wide range of musical projects, currently touring and performing both in the US and internationally. Defying strict categorization, the band's compositions are a blend of genres...jazz, cinematic soundscapes, dub, blues, rock, middle eastern, jungle, funk, & hip-hop.
