About The Bands

Washboard Hank’s exploits as singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and comedic backwoods philosopher, have delighted and entertained people for over 35 years.He started as a street musician playing all over North America where he learned how to present a truly entertaining show. Late at night he would have total strangers laughing and dancing in the grimmest of urban settings. This ability to spread joy has been Hank’s constant goal..

The Stradovarious Washboard, from which he gets his name, is a musical phenomenon of the first order that he plays with breathtaking virtuosity. With wild flailing motions he carves out melodies in the most unlikely yet spectacular fashion. Hank also plays guitar, 4 & 5 string banjos and the kitchen sink tuba.

No. We’re NOT like every other band. We may not even be like ANY other band. We do things differently. We think differently. And we perform differently. So why settle for ordinary when Wicked Truth is anything but?

A Wicked Truth show is about the SHOW. The music isn’t the same old stuff everyone plays but IS music that people universally love. That said, it’s the SHOW that keeps people coming back.

We LOVE to perform… and it shows. There’s no standing still and looking bored here! With sets longer than any other band, our passion and energy lasts all night long… and it’s contagious! The crowd feed off us, and we feed off them. That cycle just keeps building song after song, set after set.

It’s what makes a Wicked Truth show an unforgettable experience to be a part of.

And, of Course, The Music

Born with freakish range, our frontman can belt out chilling renditions of some of the most challenging vocal performances of our time – including Robert Plant, Steven Tyler, Axl Rose, David Lee Roth, and Bon Scott.

The band plays to the skill-level of such legendary musicians as Slash, Eddie Van Halen, and Jimmy Page. Our advanced Roland drums specifically have the unique ability to perfectly reproduce the sounds of Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, Van Halen, and Guns ’n Roses, played to the remarkable technical accuracy of the greats like John Bonham, Alex Van Halen, and even Neil Peart.

Symply Skynyrd is an Ontario-based tribute to Lynyrd Skynyrd devoted to bringing the classic Skynyrd sound to fans in clubs and festivals in Southern Ontario. Hot off the Molson stage of Port Dover’s famous Friday the 13th event, the band has been tearing up popular venues and well-known festivals from London to Kingston Ontario – and all points in between.

Based in the GTA and comprised of veteran musicians who are fans first, the band is committed to playing the best of Skynyrd for fans and music lovers alike. These veteran rockers strive to capture the classic band sound and catalogue from the 1970’s to the 1977 famous Street Survivors album. While other tribute bands play everything under the Southern Rock genre, for Symply Skynyrd it’s all about the pure Skynyrd experience. And, since the bands launch in 2017, its been a resoundingly successful ride.

Symply Skynyrd’s setlist consists of the classics – Call Me the Breeze, Gimme 3 Steps and of course Sweet Home Alabama and anthemic Freebird, but they always try to mix in the fan favorites and some “b-sides” when possible such as the Ballad of Curtis Loew.
