About Henry Padovani:

Henry Padovani loves to tell stories. . . that his stories are set to music seems at times almost incidental. That's not to say his well crafted melodies aren't important it's just that one finds oneself wanting above all to hear what he has to say.

His lifetime involvement in music has provided him with a deep well of experience from which to draw and this allows him to create songs which are sometimes reflective sometimes passionate and at other times simply invitations to open up discussion.

 

Henry brings an intimacy to his performances that draws the listener into a world that is both involving and entertaining. Alone on stage , accompanied by an acoustic or an electric guitar, Henry is doing after all what he probably does best: play and sing, and also talk, in his deep and rich French voice.

 

In these rare solo acoustic concerts, Henry shares with us the simplicity and the emotion of some of the songs of his first solo album ‘à croire que c’etait pour la vie’, as ‘welcome home’ ‘y a plus d’saisons’, ‘la terre tourne’, ‘zone d’obscurité’ , ‘ elle est sur son ile’ and ‘il etait une fois’, as well as giving us the preview of some newly written songs for his next album. Henry sings, both in french and english, he can sing the Blues, and in fact will use any excuse to transform a Nat King Cole song, an Edith Piaf or a Jacques Brel song into a John Lee Hooker number, in fact any songs that have inspired him over the years, whether they are from T-Rex or Louis Armstrong. Or he will simply remember with us how Sting played for him ‘ Next to you’, the first time ,in a country style…

 

The tradition of the bluesman/storyteller has found a new and confident voice in the solo performances of Henry Padovani.
