A native of Sussex County and a fast-rising blues rocker, Henry will be joined on stage for this special Thanksgiving Eve show by John Ginty on the B-3 organ, Antar Goodwin on bass, Jonathan Fritz on guitar and Dan Fadel on drums. Henry sings and plays lead guitar.
"I really can't wait!" said Henry. "It's going to be an awesome night. People can expect to hear all 10 tracks off the album with my dream band playing behind me."
The songs on the CD are blues-based but also contain elements of pop, rock, and gospel, allowing for an almost eclectic variety of sounds.
Henry identifies three songs in particular that she would consider "features" -- the title track "High Road," "Chapels" and "Takes A Lot."
"The lyrics for ‘High Road' mean a lot to me and I feel that it will be easy for people to relate and connect with them," she said. "Plus, Billy Harvey's harmonies (he guests on the CD) that he sings throughout the song are just incredible. The song ‘Chapels' features Marcus Randolph on the pedal steel slide guitar, and his playing brings the song to a whole other level, especially when it is coupled with John Ginty's organ playing. I also consider ‘Takes A Lot' a feature because the recording captures the essence and fun of the live show. It takes listeners on a journey and speaks to how it ‘takes a lot' to go after what you want, which relates to my experience creating this album. My favorite line from the song is ‘If this were easy, it wouldn't be so fun.'"
Henry, who hails from Vernon and graduated from Pope John High School and later Manhattan College, composes her songs on both piano and guitar. Goodwin, meanwhile, co-wrote many of the songs on the CD with Henry. Ginty produced the album. Even before the CD was completed, though, her songs were getting plenty of attention at festivals in the area, including Michael Arnone's Crawfish Fest and the Black Potato Festival.
In addition to the originals on the CD, you can expect to hear some of Henry's favorite classic blues covers and from artists "who have influenced me over the years."
