Solo Concert: The History of Boogie Woogie Piano performed by one of the world’s foremost boogie players on HPR’s Bosendorfer grand piano

About this event

“Like Jools Holland possessed by Jerry Lee Lewis and The Devil Himself” – Jon Aizlewood, London Evening Standard

“His bar-room boogie piano manages to be, variously, celebratory, rolling, turbulent, manic and even - delicate and moving.” -Jude Clarke, BBC Music

Henri Herbert is a piano-playing phenomenon. With over 100 million video views, he regularly tours around the world and is fast becoming one of the foremost boogie-woogie and blues piano players of his generation. Henri is also an expert on the music - its origins, legendary players and various styles.

On Saturday, July 31 at 6pm HST, Henri has a special treat for HPR livestream viewers. Henri will deliver his typical high-energy, invigorating show but with a twist. He will take the audience on a ride through the history of boogie-woogie piano music from Pine Top to Albert Ammons, Otis Span, Jerry Lee Lewis, Memphis Slim and more, and delve into what boogie-woogie piano means to Henri today.

It’s your chance to see a professional broadcast of Henri’s first ever Hawaii show and a rare opportunity to enjoy an inside look at the history and power of boogie-woogie music from one of today’s leading players.

ABOUT HENRI HERBERT

UK national and current Austin, TX resident, Henri Herbert performs a visceral, timeless show of original songs and classic covers featuring piano and vocals inspired by the great American boogie and blues pianists of the 20th century. Regularly touring Europe and America and recording a series of boogie and blues piano albums including his standout “Boogie Woogie Piano” record, the former stevedore and boxer is not only keeping this unique form of American music alive and well, but also advancing it forward.

Henri first found the spotlight as a member of the mega-popular UK band, The Jim Jones Revue, playing big, aggressive Detroit-influenced rock at many of the largest festivals on the planet (Glastonbury, Rock en Seine, etc.) and making a memorable appearance on Late Night with David Letterman. Since the disbandment of the group, Henri has focused on his solo career, as well as occasional tours with his rockabilly trio, “Henri Herbert and The Fury,” whose sound and energy are well captured on the trio’s pedal-to-the-metal concert album “Live at Gypsy Hotel.”

Henri has appeared on recordings by Nas (the rapper) and Isabella Summers (Florence and The Machine) and performed at the Jerry Lee Lewis family home / museum upon receiving an invitation from the Lewis family with the video of this set garnering over 25,000 views within the first two hours of its release.

Henri is a Roland Pianos and Blackstar Amplification artist.
