HANKINS
Josh and Heather
Josh and Heather met at church where they played in the Worship band. They created Tuesday Music Night and started making music and, eventually, created a family together.
WELL AND TRULY BLESSED was released in 2016.
In 2017, Heather was diagnosed with estrogen receptive breast cancer, resulting in bilateral mastectomy and hystectomy. She focused on her daughter and continued writing. In 2019, daughter Wallis, graduated high school and was off to college in San Marcos. Now , Heather's nest was empty. Josh held the income and insurance secure for the family as the Director and Physical Therapist, and agreed they should start playing out as a duo.
The time had come!
HANKINS the band started developing their own “Amerifolkincountry” style, and soon Heather, the booking agent, had them booking shows anywhere that had patios, as COVID hit. They opened for Hayes Carl at Levitt Pavillion, singing to an outdoor audience that was sectioned into "bubble blocks" with chalk 6 feet apart from each other!
They opened twice for Micky and The Motorcars, and have recorded with artists like Jomo Edwards of the Possum Posse, Rachel Stacy, Milo Deering, Josh Rodgers, and Aden Bubeck.
HANKINS released 4 singles in 2022, and in March 2024, they released their Sophomore album, HEY WELCOME.
