Studio Work
Heaven
Will & the Foxhounds
Will & the Foxhounds released Heaven in June 2023. I am super excited to have performed multiple keyboard instruments on this track, with Hammond B3 organ, Piano, and my highlight, a synthesizer solo with a uniquely synthesized tone at the ending.
Southeasterly Wind
Dusky Waters
Released May 2023, Southeasterly Wind features my arrangements and performance for piano and organ. The piano riff I applied to this song reflects my New Orleans R&B influences, particularly “Bald Head” by Professor Longhair.
From Offbeat Magazine:
“…the band knows well the nature of phrasing, economy and timing. Tommy Henson’s piano parts, in particular, strike as the perfect example of this…”
Footnote
Dusky Waters
Footnote is a ballad released on the Pass it On album, which highlights my piano arrangement/harmonization and performance. The tune augments between standard meter and 6/8.
How Will We Know?
Dusky Waters
This tune is a reflection on our bluegrass and country backgrounds. Stay tuned til the end, which features an improv section with a piano solo in a honky tonk style.
From Band Leader Jennifer Jeffers:
“The ending of the song has a really beautiful piano solo by Tommy Henson that I think perfectly captures the idea that we can experience joy and presence in the midst of difficulty.“
