Dear Voting friends,
You are getting a lot of messages about various recording projects and there are certainly a lot of great ones out there.
I ask you to give a listen to this sublime recording: Lucy Woodward and the Rocketeers. This is a very special project featuring my long-time friend , who stretches and sings so beautifully here, accompanied by a glorious big band with astounding arrangements by . This record will likely not get the attention that it so deserves so this is your chance to not only enjoy something that is far above and beyond, but to move this album toward the light. Please consider voting for this masterpiece.
I have no professional connection with this recording and I didn’t participate in any way. I just think that it’s amazing. Please listen!
TONIGHT - Henry Hey Trio Mezzrow with Hamish Smith and Jochen Rueckert 7:30 and 9pm. Please come by!
I'm so glad to have the opportunity to work on a wide variety of music. My ideal music world wouldn't be complete if I were only doing one style of music. Perhaps my career (such as it is) would be easier if I were just focused in one direction, but then I feel like I would miss out on wonderful stuff that doesn't present itself to someone who just stays in one lane. I'm proud to be a co-writer on this latest Empire of the Sun album and this is the latest video release for "Happy Like You" Working with Nico George Littlemore Nick Littlemore and Luke Steele and co is always interesting! Real artists come in all forms. Link to video in the comments below:

Who Are The Guests?
Maybe they are this pair of vocalist and pianist coming to visit your living room, or maybe The Guests are all of the songwriters and iconic artists from whence this duo draws their material. With a deep appreciation for the legacy of great songs and grooves, well-known master songstress Lucy Woodward along with dynamic collaborator creative pianist Henry Hey invite you to pull up a cozy chair for an energetic yet intimate evening. Drawing from their own expansive professional experience as songwriters and performers, Lucy and Henry will share classic songs from the deep well of writers such as David Bowie, Hoagy Carmichael and others and will add their own contributions on top. The Guests have just released their first single “God Only Knows” by Brian Wilson. Available on all digital platforms.
Congratulations to Vanessa Williams on the release of her new album - 'Survivor' !! This one has been a long time coming. I'm very proud to have produced (and played on) a few of these songs.

For those who don't know this project, this is an acoustic duo that is entirely focused on great songs. As songwriters ourselves, Lucy and I share the idea that a great song can reveal it's best qualities in the most simple of settings, so we strip songs down and reinvent them for our duo.
I actually sing quite a big with this project and although voice(s) and piano could seem like cabaret, this definitely is NOT Cabaret. We play plenty of rock and roll as well as a few selected songbook classics.
In addition, I'll also be playing some dates with my piano trio:

Our California tour starts in Vegas next week! Come see The Guests (my duo project w/ )
in one of these fabulous cities. Tix 🔗 in bio.
For those of you who are new to The Guests, this is a project based on the stripped down nature of THE SONG in its native, most honest and simplest of settings. You hear every crevice of the song this way so each word, note, emotion - counts. This is not a power ballad set. This is not a cabaret act. This is The Guests. Its own thing. 🤸

Composer/Producer/Keyboardist
Henry has an innate curiosity and unique ability to bring multiple musical influences together. This is probably because everything from the Beatles to Bach to Count Basie to the sound of Henry’s own father playing various musical instruments could be heard at any time in his Midwest childhood home.
One famously curious artist, David Bowie, identified with this spirit in Henry during the making of The Next Day, on which Henry played piano and keyboards. Bowie then chose him as arranger and musical director to help reimagine his classic songs and to shape new ones, creating the sound for what would be Bowie’s final work, Lazarus.
Henry immerses himself in original projects and creative collaborations expressing his own voice. These works embody his skills as a musical catalyst in every way, from composing, songwriting, and arranging to sound creation, production, and performance. His instrumental group, FORQ, is currently recording and touring worldwide. Other collaborations include the critically acclaimed quartet, Rudder, and Australian synth-pop sensation, Empire of the Sun.
Legendary producer Phil Ramone felt Henry was essential to the evolution of George Michael’s project Symphonica, both as an arranger and pianist. Michael felt at ease working with Henry and the two enjoyed a successful relationship as Henry went on to be musical director for both the album recording and extensive arena touring. Prior to this, Henry was the musical director and pianist with Rod Stewart and the Great American Songbook. Henry not only led the band on international tours and recorded on several of the songbook albums, but also joined Stewart on many network television appearances.
