Nun - möglicherweise war der Termin in der Zeit eines großen Sportereignisses schon im Voraus etwas unglücklich gewählt, denn leider kamen viel zu wenig Zuschauer zu diesem wunderbaren Event. Und die Veranstalter müssen sich leider auch die Kritik anhören, daß sie ihre Bühnentechnik nicht auf dem Niveau hatten, das die Künstler verdient hätten. Ständig plärrende und schnarrende Boxen schmälerten den Hörgenuß, und das wäre vermeidbar gewesen!
Trotzdem 5 Sterne, und zwar für die Künstler, Katie Henry und Ashley Sherlock!
Ashley Sherlock, den wir schon 2023 bei 'Rufs Blues Caravan' erleben durften, startete die Show mit einem eigenen Programm, sehr schöner eingängiger Bluesrock, mitreißend bis ganz einfühlsam. Klasse gemacht, Ashley!
Und er selbst mit seiner Band begleitete anschließend auch Katie Henry in ihrer Show. In ihrer Heimat Amerika längst ein Star, faßt sie auch in Europa langsam Fuß, wozu nicht zuletzt auch ihre Teilnahme an der erst kürzlich stattgefundenen 'Ruf Records 30th anniversary tour' beitrug.
Katie stellt den Blues auf eine ganz neue Stufe, sie selbst bezeichnet ihre Musik als 'New american blues'. Ihre markante Stimme, die gern mit der von Janis Joplin verglichen wird, verleiht ihr längst ein Alleinstellungsmerkmal. Ihr Hauptinstrumernt ist das Piano, aber sie spielt ebenso überzeugend Gitarre, und singt auch mal ganz ohne Instrument.
Sie hielt den Ruf, der ihr in der Szene vorauseilt, und begeisterte die, die gekommen waren, um sie zu sehen, vom ersten bis zum letzten Ton. Wer nicht da war, ist selber schuld, kann man da nur sagen..
Und - Hochachtung, daß sie sich für diese eine Show auf den Weg von Amerika nach Deutschland machte! Dafür hätte sie wirklich mehr Publikum verdient gehabt! Aber da sie sich in Deutschland wohl fühlt, werden wir vielleicht nicht allzulange auf sie verzichten müssen. Und dann vielleicht auch für eine richtige Tournee..? Ich freu' mich jetzt schon drauf!

Katie Henry Biography
The New Jersey songwriter might have started out banging on doors, braving New York's blues clubs, playing piano until her fingers bled, and winning over the city one show at a time. But lately, the multi-instrumentalist has raced through career milestones at a rocket pace.
There was her Blues Blast and IBMA-nominated 2018 debut album, High Road. Her international breakout on Ruf's 2022 Blues Caravan Revue. Her starburst of media acclaim, including Henry Yates of Classic Rock, NME, and The Guardian, saluted "a runaway talent you need to keep up with."
Now, with the release of her second album, On My Way, Katie has found another gear. Whether slinging her trusty Gibson SG, hammering the keys, or hollering up a storm, these ten original songs, co-written with bassist and slide-guitar maestro Antar Goodwin, announced her as an alchemist who creates gemstones from the base metals of American roots.
"There's a great range of songs on this album," Katie reflects. "You get a sense of the things I've been going through, the fights I've won, the fights I've lost, and the determination needed to continue. All wrapped in a rock and roots package."
The story goes that at one early show, a fan astutely observed: "It's like she's got John Lee Hooker in her pocket!" Scratch this young artist, and you'll find an old soul. Fingering her first piano chords, aged six, and scrawling early songs in the back of her school notebooks, Katie was the heart of singalongs at her family home in New Jersey.
With fiery guitar chops and natural charisma, she was soon a New York City jam scene favorite. Those who were there, remember songs of many genres, blues, rock, R&B, funk, pop, soul, and country, and her stage presence evoked Bonnie Raitt and Janis Joplin at their most magnetic.
And while “High Road” was the introductory handshake, On My Way is the profoundly personal second album on which Katie gives you her beat-up heart. It all started in May 2021, when Brooklyn's Degraw Sound opened its doors to Katie and producer/guitarist Ben Rice. The crack lineup of Goodwin, Kurt Thum (piano/organ,) and Greg Wieczorek (drums/percussion,) plus British harp ace Giles Robson. "We recorded the album live during the pandemic," reflects Katie, "and it was so fun to be able to record in a room with people after feeling isolated for such a long time. The majority of the album was laid down live, and I love that feeling. It's like capturing lightning in a bottle."
