Nicole Henry is no stranger to the Arts Garage family, and on October 17 & 18, this South Florida favorite will return with her newest show that’s filled with jazz to classic soul, and a sprinkling of everything in between. All About Jazz proclaims, “Henry is a vocalist of beautiful sensitivity and solid phrasing...perfecting the art of mesmerizing audiences all around the world,” while Stephen Holden of The New York Times raves, “I had the sense of being in the presence of a pop-soul superwoman whose every gesture and inflection conveyed confidence and mastery.”
Henry has also enjoyed four national “TOP 10” CDs in the U.S., Japan and the U.K. and has headlined stages in 20 countries throughout her career garnering worldwide rave reviews by Japan Times, El Pais, DownBeat, Essence and more. Among her numerous accolades, Henry received the Soul Train Award for “Best Traditional Jazz Performance" & Artist” by HMV Japan, and “Best Solo Musician” by the Miami New Times.
PERFORMER BIO:
Since 2004, Nicole Henry’s versatile and emotionally driven performances have wowed audiences in 20 countries. She has established herself among the jazz world's most acclaimed performers, possessing a potent combination of dynamic vocal abilities, impeccable phrasing, and powerful emotional resonance. Heralded by The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The Japan Times, El Pais, Jazz Times, Essence and more, Ms. Henry tells real stories through peerless interpretations of repertoire from the American Songbook, classic and contemporary jazz, popular standards, blues and originals.
Among her numerous accolades, Henry’s passionate, soulful voice and heartfelt charisma have earned her a Soul Train Award for “Best Traditional Jazz Performance," “Best New Jazz Artist” by HMV Japan, “Best Solo Musician” by her hometown Miami New Times, and was hailed as “One of Eight Black Artists Making Waves in 2024” by Symphonic Distribution. She has enjoyed four TOP 10 CDs including her latest album “Time to Love Again” which reached #4 on the U.S. jazz radio chart, remaining in the TOP 40 for 20 weeks. “Time to Love Again” also reached #6 on UK’s Sweet Rhythms chart and continues to enjoy worldwide play on both Sirius XM’s Real Jazz & Watercolors stations. These successes were supplemented by a 36-city national tour.
Henry has performed in over 25 festivals and headlined shows in New York, Tokyo, Madrid, Moscow, Paris, Shanghai, Los Angeles, Chicago, Las Vegas, Boston, San Francisco and Miami at such notable venues as Blue Note, Jazz at Lincoln Center, Dimitriou’s Jazz Alley, Birdland, Blues Alley, The Smith Center, Kravis Center, Jazz St. Louis, Spaghettini’s, Feinstein’s, Middle C and more.
She has recorded with musical greats Kirk Whalum, Julian Lage, John Clayton, and Gerald Clayton and has performed with the Duke Ellington Orchestra, the Henry Mancini Institute Orchestra, Pasadena Pops and Michael Feinstein. In late 2019, Ms. Henry returned to the theatrical stage and garnered critical praise in the musical version of “The Bodyguard”; she’s portrayed Shug Avery in “The Color Purple”; ‘Brenda’ in “Smokey Joe’s Cafe”; and she starred in the worldwide debut of the musical “A Wonderful World,” based on the life of Louis Armstrong.
Growing up in a musical family in Bucks County, PA, Ms. Henry immersed herself in the arts early on, singing in school and church, and studying cello and ballet. After graduating from the University of Miami with a degree in Communications and Theatre, she launched a successful acting career, appearing in national commercial roles as well as a series of voiceover assignments. However, she directed her strongest passion toward the development of her full-time singing career. Since then, based on her various career accomplishments and active commitment to supporting non-profits such as Miami Music Project (Board Member), YoungArts and Miami Children’s Initiative (past Board Member), proclamations from the City of Miami Beach and Miami-Dade County have named “Nicole Henry Days” in 2011, 2016 and 2017. Ms. Henry has also served two terms on the Board of the Florida Chapter of the Recording Academy (GRAMMYs).
