“Ultimately, I am trying to be the best and most honest version of myself,” Henry says of the new record. “Lyrically I wanted to say exactly what I was feeling in the most efficient way possible while tackling heavy topics set to melodies that weren’t afraid to be pretty.” The result is the most personal and passionate music of Henry’s career, one that speaks to the harsh realities of the current national scene but that also reflects the renegade musical spirit of a great American roots rocker.
Music fans in the Midwest know Henry as the hard-touring, guitar-slinging singer-songwriter, and founder of the annual Open Highway Music Festival. John has toured or shared the stage with artists such as Jason Isbell, Dwight Yoakam, Nathaniel Rateliff, and countless others, earning critical raves for his songwriting, record-making, and galvanizing live performances.
Henry's Out at Sea release show will be at The Pageant in St. Louis on Friday, November 13 with the Sleepy Rubies. The show is limited capacity, reserved seating, and COVID safety protocols will be enforced. Tickets are on sale today at 5PM CST.
