Band/artist history
Fun Music! If the piano man, Billy Joel, were 23 years young and hung out with Maroon 5, Gavin DeGraw, Marc Broussard and James Morrison, he’d sound like Seattle singer-songwriter Carson Henley. Carson's expressive voice belts out soulful, catchy, piano-driven rock.
Rarely are people brought up in a world completely surrounded by music. Carson Henley however, has been immersed in music since birth. In fact, one week prior to delivering Carson, his mom was still performing onstage, giving Carson the unique experience of live rhythms from day one. He grew up listening to the Soul and R&B greats like Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, and Donny Hathaway (from his mother) and the classic rock and funk albums of The Beatles, Tower of Power and Credence Clearwater Revival (from his father).
The 23 year-old singer-songwriter has also been trained on piano at the Pacific Northwest School of Music since the age of 3. Carson writes all his own songs and vocal arrangements, and performs the lead and backing vocals. It wasn’t until his junior year in high school, at a school talent show, that Carson first sang in front of anyone. In college he began writing his own songs and with the encouragement from family and friends he recorded his music. The songs he wrote are on his debut CD entitled Green Eyed Soul, released in the summer of 2008.
Carson is an entertaining live performer who blends the old school piano of Billy Joel and Stevie Wonder with a mix of rock, soul, and blues from today's Maroon 5, Gavin DeGraw, and Marc Broussard. Carson just graduated from the University of Washington with a Business/Marketing degree.Your musical influences
