Cunningham Henson Duo

Looking for an outlet from the confines of "gun for hire mussos", guitarist Steve Cunningham and bassist Rob Henson have formed a musical gumbo duo to express a level of artistry rarely utilized in their careers as in-demand sideman/session musicians. Their unique approach presents familiar melodies and songs of all styles in a way that sounds fresh, exciting and at the same time understated.

One of the most in-demand guitarists on the Atlanta scene, Steve has played with Grammy nominated Susan Tedeschi, long-time members of the James Brown band, and Grammy Award winner William Bell, as well as opening for Jeff Beck, The Barenaked Ladies, Kool and the Gang, Dream Theatre, The Four Tops, Chuck Mangione, and Blondie. Steve is a first-call session player, playing on hundreds of local and national CD releases, TV and radio commercials, and movie soundtracks. He has recorded for Coca-Cola, Ford, IBM, Cartoon Network, Microsoft, CNN and NASCAR to name a few, as well as recording with the London Symphony Orchestra.

Rob Henson is arguably the most versatile bassist in the Atlanta area. Equally fluent in the musical styles of rock, jazz and classical has led to gigs with Shawn Mullins, the Atlanta Opera Orchestra, David Ryan Harris, Yacht Rock, Geoff Achison, The Atlanta Ballet, The Drifters, Broadway tours of Wicked and Phantom of the Opera. He also writes and records with the Atlanta indie band Telegram. In addition, from 2006 -2012 Rob recorded 5 CD's and toured the United States playing over 150 shows a year with singer/songwriter Corey Smith. Rob has shared the stage with diverse acts like ZZ Top, Willie Nelson, Cheap Trick, Snoop Dog, and Jason Aldeen.
