ACL 2022: Cory Henry

Friday at 2:30pm.  Kevin Morby is on at this time so that's my first choice.  Another option is Noah Cyrus who has that nice song with Leon Bridges, "July".  She seems to be following a more mellow, Americana style than her sister.  

The third option is this Brooklyn based musician/song-writer.  He used to play with a jazzy instrumental band called Snarky Puppy.  Now he's solo and has worked with artists like Kanye and Quincy Jones. It says he plays the Hammond B3 organ.  Sweet.

For his jazzy side here is a Tiny Desk Concert of Christmas songs on piano.  He also jams with an orchestra for "Purple Rain", playing the guitar solo on a Moog synthesizer while switching to a Hammond B3 for the slow parts.  Damn.  

It looks like his newer stuff is more funk/dance.  Should be a good show.  Here's his newest release:
