Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Henri Herbert

Originally from the UK and now based in Nashville, TN, Henri Herbert has earned a reputation as one of the most electrifying blues and boogie-woogie pianists working today. A permanent resident of the United States, his Green Card was granted specifically for his exceptional ability as a blues pianist—formal recognition of a talent that has taken him across stages throughout the U.S. and Europe.

Henri’s love affair with the piano began early. As a young player, he gravitated toward the fire and flair of pioneers like Jerry Lee Lewis, Fats Domino, and Pete Johnson, musicians whose bold, rhythmic styles helped shape his own unmistakable sound. Over the years, he transformed that early influence into a high-energy, emotionally charged approach that blends technical mastery with raw, old-school spirit.

His career took a viral turn with an impromptu performance at London’s St. Pancras Train Station—a spontaneous blues explosion on a public piano that captured the internet’s attention. That video has now accumulated more than 72 million views on YouTube, drawing audiences worldwide and becoming a highlight of his live shows.

Today, Henri tours relentlessly as a solo artist, delivering powerhouse performances marked by blistering speed, soulful grooves, and a deep reverence for the history of the music he plays. His concerts bridge generations of blues and boogie-woogie tradition while showcasing the ferocious energy and showmanship that have made him one of the most sought-after pianists on the modern scene.

Whether on a grand festival stage or a lonely public piano, Henri Herbert plays with a fire that’s impossible to ignore—and unforgettable to witness.
