Originally from the UK, Henri Herbert currently resides in Nashville, TN and tours extensively in the United States and Europe as a soloist. He is a permanent resident of the USA and is now one of the most sought-after blues and boogie pianists in the world. In fact, his Green Card was awarded based on his skill as a blues pianist. From an early age, Herbert was fascinated by the piano-pounding pioneers Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, and Pete Johnson. A video of Henri playing an impromptu blues on the public piano in London’s St Pancras Train Station has now reached an incredible 72 million views on YouTube and is a regular feature of his live shows.
“A blazing young pianist..” - The New Yorker
“His bar-room boogie piano manages to be, variously, celebratory, roiling, turbulent, manic and even - delicate and moving.” - BBC Music
