Cory Henry Earns Four 2022 Grammy Nominations
Kicks Off 14-Date Tour With Tank And The Bangas On March 9thDecember 8, 2021 --- Grammy winner, keyboard virtuoso, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Cory Henry has been honored with four 2022 Grammy nominations. His October 2020 solo album Something to Say was nominated in the Best Progressive R&B Album category. The first body of work solely produced by Henry, Something to Say showcases his multi-instrumental skills and powerfully mines 2020’s challenging emotional terrain. According to Essence, Something to Say is “right on time with this message to remind us all to not forget what we’re living and fighting for.” Henry is also nominated as a co-producer/writer on Eric Bellinger’s New Light---again in the Best Progressive R&B Album category---and as a co-producer/writer on Kanye West’s DONDA, which is nominated for both Album of the Year and Best Rap Album.
Henry previously scored three Grammy wins as a member of the adventurous ensemble Snarky Puppy, including Best Contemporary Instrumental Album for their critically acclaimed album Culcha Vulcha.
In demand as a collaborator, Henry is the featured organist on Imagine Dragons’ 2021 album Act 1, playing on both “Cutthroat” (“The edgiest single of the band’s career”--Rolling Stone) and “Follow You,” the smash single with over 203 million streams. In September he performed the national anthem with vocalist Michelle Williams for a record 26 million viewers at the NFL season opener in Tampa Bay, FL, and he is featured on Marc E. Bassy’s latest LP, Little Men, on the single “Free Like Me.” Henry also released his own album, Best of Me, in September, featuring the NPR-favorite single “The Opening.”
At the close of 2021, Henry will celebrate the new year with two solo shows (Dec 30 & 31) in Austin, TX. He will hit the road in 2022 on a 14-date joint tour with New Orleans-based ensemble Tank and the Bangas, kicking off in St. Louis, MO on March 9.
