"We rejoice that there are still bands like local alt rockers Free Henry!, who played UB’s Allen Hall last week. You had to love lead singer Bob Buckley’s knit hat, like a bathing cap. And the stuffed gopher mascot, named Henry." ...Click here to continue reading...
"They certainly don't skimp on giving you the feel good, stuck in your head choruses. Expect mainstream pop rock, but with more guts than you're used to hearing. And they know how to do what they do very well. If you want to describe it to a friend in 4 words you could say: smart minded rock pop." ~Brandon Schlia, Buffalo Rising ----------------------------------------------------- "We rejoice that there are still bands like local alt rockers Free Henry!" ~Mary Kunz Goldman, The Buffalo News ----------------------------------------------------- “Free Henry! emerges as an up-and-coming rock band whose style infuses elements of acoustic rock, jazz, and blues harmony with a sound that is uniquely theirs. Originally crafted lyrics by singer/songwriter and guitarist Bob Buckley puts Free Henry! outside the norm, as they lay a basic foundation of melodies and layer upon layer of new-age sounds. This young quartet loves to jam, and their diverse compositions display their intricate and dynamic groove.” ~Caitlin DeRose, Artvoice Magazine (Buffalo, NY) ----------------------------------------------------- "Free Henry! is a refreshing new band from Buffalo, NY with an uplifting musical approach. This cat can sing. Great tone and good pitch. He is a very emotional singer with interesting lyrics, definitely a winning combo." ~Tune Review (Rochester, NY) ----------------------------------------------------- “Free Henry!’s improvisational style entertains all-age audiences” ~Pam Kowalic, The Buffalo News ----------------------------------------------------- “After the first listen, you’ll get an insight as to who these up-tempo versatile musicians are. Free Henry!’s sound is sure to grab your attention and invites you to join in for a passionate “Free Your Soul” musical experience.” ~Charlotte Burnett, SMASH Music Magazine (Georgia)
