About
Henri Herbert, blues and boogie piano player from the UK. From an early age, Henri Herbert was fascinated by the piano-pounding pioneers Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, and Pete Johnson. Born in France and raised in the UK, Herbert broke onto the music scene as a member of the explosive rock revival band, The Jim Jones Revue. After testing the waters with his own band, The Fury, Herbert made the move to Austin, TX to immerse himself in the rich history of American roots music. He quickly moved up the ranks of professional players and made a name for himself. Now a permanent resident of the U.S., he has become one of the most sought-after blues and boogie pianists in the world and tours extensively around the globe. A video of Henri playing an impromptu blues "Gettin On Down" on the public piano in London’s St Pancras Train Station has reached an incredible 73 million views on YouTube. Henri has sold out the Palais Montcalm in Quebec City, the Blue Note in Hawaii, the 100 Club in London and Nice Opera for the Royal Family of Monaco, showcased at the Cincinatti Blues Fest, the International Jazz Fest Switzerland, and the Milan Piano Fest, and brought down the house in bar rooms and dancehalls including a residency at C-Boy's Heart and Soul in Austin. His passion for capturing the essence of his musical heroes and elevating it to new levels is what makes him stand out above the crowd.
