Happened upon Lewis Floyd Henry, today. Had to share this. Sounds like he is channeling Hendrix, who was obviously a huge influence. Not everyone can do that successfully! He has the talent to do so and to create his own material too. The YouTube description is below.
"Louder Than War meets Lewis Floyd Henry, a talented underground artist who has, over the past few years, caught the attention and imagination of thousands of music fans across the world – both in the street and online.
Lewis’ live set is made up of his own material mixed up with some clever, energetic and unique re-workings of stone-cold-classics, such as ‘Purple Haze’ and ‘Shimmy Shimmy Ya’ll’. Lewis performs one of the greatest ‘busking’ sets you’ll ever see or hear – something which was became obvious thanks to his fired-up live guitar cover of The Wu Tang Clans hip-hop epic ‘Protect ya Neck’, a video of which went viral, getting over 166,00 hits on YouTube.
Lewis: Around this period I met Zac Baker, a really amazing drummer who was tipped off about me by a local promoter called David Duck. We formed this 2 piece band which was nameless and played a handful of dates, we thought it would be cool to become 3 piece with a bassist. So by chance when we were jamming in one of the squat coffee shops at that time in New Cross this guy called Ben Powell walked in, who must off heard us from the street, plugged his bass into his effects which he happened to be carrying and right there we created a band that would also be called KNOWN. We released an E.P. called Grey Skies which is out on Vinyl. There was also a lengthy documentary made about us by a film maker called Mason Gaines. It is called:THE STORY OF KNOWN”, you can watch it on YouTube.
Lewis Floyd Henry: Thanks, I would say it has had the most hits on YouTube due to the fact that the person who filmed it and uploaded the footage has a huge Hip Hop social media following. So it kind of went a bit viral for that reason.
Lewis: The first group I was in was called ‘Eclipse’ that had William Close on bass
Lewis Floyd Henry : who is the son of Bob Close who played guitar for Pink Floyd in the early days with Syd Barrett. Tristan Anderson on drums and me on guitar and vocals. We were around 13 years old, playing covers with some originals. Our debut show was at Lewisham theater in 91 or 92."
