What makes it so great is the loose one man band synthesis of Piedmont Country Blues, the occasional vocal flavours of Mick Jagger and the vintage ragtime jazz and skiffle leanings. He sounds like Lone Cat Fuller jamming Captain Beefheart in Margate. Lewis devised a foot operated miniature toy drum kit set on it’s side for his “rhythm section” with other pedals including loopers you can imagine the reanimated ghost cadavers of Son House, Jimi Hendrix and several bright orange dwarves dancing like voodoo puppets as he pounds out rhythms like an ancient, corroded 808 against a back drop of 60’s psyche inspired grooves. Lewis Floyd Henry takes the rarified tradition of the one man band, street corner, blues music of Lone Cat Fuller to an almost burlesque stratospheric level –a one man, multi genre, sonic medicine show. Whilst developing his unique approach to performing, musical ideas have flourished in the form of his own compositions and recordings.Ī One Man, Multi Genre, Traveling Sonic Medicine Show Lewis Floyd Henry has been out on the streets and stages of the world evolving as a one man band and gaining the reputation of being a great live act.
“I’m blowin’ up like you thought I would Call the crib, same number, same hood It’s all good (It’s all good) And if you don’t know, now you know” The End…Īt a time when a lot of music seems trapped in an interminably vicious circle of insignificant virtual releases, climbing another irrelevant “chart” on another irrelevant website or simply just rotting away in cyberspace. Live at Bedford Esquires, 8pm, Friday June 29th Lewis Floyd Henry – The greatest one man band on the planet
