Legal name & stage name

Stage name: Hank B Free. Legal name: Hank Kelm. Based in Novelty, OH, serving Northeast Ohio.

Hank B Free (Hank Kelm) is a solo one-man-band guitarist and vocalist based in Novelty, OH. He covers 100+ country, pop, and classic rock favorites — from Jimmy Buffett to Neil Diamond — for wineries, restaurants, private parties, festivals, and more across Northeast Ohio.

One-man band vs DJ or full band

Hank is live guitar and vocals — not a DJ. Compared with a full band, he delivers high energy with a smaller footprint and simpler load-in, suited to patios, parties, and venues that want crowd connection without a multi-piece stage plot.

Ideal venues

Wineries & outdoor patios
Restaurants & pubs
Private parties & birthdays
Weddings & graduations
Country clubs & senior events
Festivals, fairs & corporate picnics
