Alex Henley

About the Au Pre du Blues Festival in France, 2010:

"The Alex Henley Band had made a home of one of the stages, and played between performances on the other stage. Alex kicked off on a warm (32°c) evening with Clapton’s “Old Love” which was an excellent choice to open the evening and welcome the stragglers who were still strolling in with their rugs, picnics and fold-up chairs.

Throughout the evening the Alex Henley Band played on three (or was it four?) occasions with a good mix of music – some of his own songs and some well-known covers.

Yaume Lannoy (the one with very little hair) did a great job on bass, and on drums was Micha Paquier (with a lot of hair!). Both were having loads of fun and formed a great trio with Alex.

I did particularly like his versions of “Nobody Knows You (When You’re Down And Out)”, Blaze Foley’s “If I Could Only Fly”, and surprisingly, “Back To Black” (Amy Winehouse). I have been waiting for someone to cover “Back To Black” and I was not disappointed. Alex, who has a slightly Curtis Stiger like quality in his voice, plays (guitar) and performs well, and his fellow band members were having a ball too.

Thanks Alex, a good night."

Later in the Article the following is mentioned about the headliner for the fest, DR. Feelgood:

"... Twice the Feelgoods came back on and the final time they brought on some help. Some guy, Phil I think, who had made a guitar for Steve Walwyn, and Alex Henley, joined them for what had to be the final of finales...." - Harpe le Blues

Said by DJ, Charlie Hodge after live on-air performance by Alex Henley.
"That band [Alex Henley] gets the official Charlie Hodge endorsement." - Charlie Hodge - KLBJ FM 93.7 - Austin
