Keyboard master, bandleader, composer, and former member of Snarky Puppy, Cory Henry returns with his incendiary Funk Apostles band, performing music from across his career including material from his GRAMMY-nominated Culture Collective release, Operation Funk.
Henry was a core member of bassist and bandleader Michael League's funk juggernaut Snarky Puppy, winning three GRAMMY awards with them before striking out as a bandleader with the hard-driving Funk Apostles. With a style owing more to idols Oscar Peterson and Art Tatum than the typical Hammond organ heroes who preceded him, Cory Henry has captured the imagination of music fans of all stripes, creating an alchemy of gospel-inflected R&B, funk, jazz, and global influences that move the body and touch the soul.
A prodigious musician and Brooklyn native who began playing Hammond organ at the age of two, Henry performed at Harlem's famed Apollo Theater as a six-year-old, while honing his musicianship in church. An established veteran by his teens, he branched out into secular music and quickly found a home as an in-demand instrumentalist, touring the world with saxophone giant Kenny Garrett by 19, and later working with Robert Glasper, Bruce Springsteen, The Roots, Frank Ocean, Kirk Franklin, and Jon Batiste.
