Nicole Henry

City Winery Nashville Presents Nicole Henry featuring Shedrick Mitchell on piano live on Wednesday, November 5th at 7:30 PM!

Nicole Henry makes her Nashville debut with her 4-piece band and their distinctive blend of jazz, soul, pop and blues. Winner of a Soul Train Award for "Best Traditional Jazz Performance" and four national TOP 10 CD releases (US, UK, Japan), vocalist Nicole Henry tells real stories through real emotion in her performances and recordings.

“She has a potent voice, and her interpretive sense is sharp and distinctive... a natural feel for how to shape a lyric. Listen and you'll hear an artist who knows how to make a song her own. Henry aims right for the emotional center." - Philip Van Vleck, Billboard

“I had the sense of being in the presence of a pop-soul superwoman whose every gesture and inflection conveyed confidence and mastery. She phrases songs with a freewheeling sense of play that never loses sight of the subject at hand…and she invested familiar songs with an extra fillip of conviction and made you reconsider the words.” - Stephen Holden, The New York Times

“A paragon of perfection. The voice that pours out of her is even more impressive, a burnished, honey-rich alto that can soar to gospel heights, romp with skin-tingling rhythm and drop to a heart-rending whisper, the vocal love child of Whitney Houston and Sarah Vaughan." - Jordan Levin, Miami Herald

“(Henry) can sell a power ballad as well as Whitney, Diana and Patti.” - Jazz Times
