"Although their proficiency lies in a genre that's not exactly
radio-friendly, the members of Free Henry! possess more musical talent
than a good deal of what now occupies the airwaves. How a big-time
record label has yet to offer these guys a paycheck is perplexing."
"This Western New York-based quartet proves that there is actual,
authentic musicianship still present in the music industry." ~Paul Lane, The Niagara Gazette

"They certainly don't skimp on giving you the feel good, stuck in your head choruses. Expect mainstream pop rock, but with more guts than you're used to hearing. And they know how to do what they do very well. If you want to describe it to a friend in 4 words you could say: smart minded rock pop." ~Brandon Schlia, Buffalo Rising

“Free Henry! emerges as an up-and-coming rock band whose style infuses elements of acoustic rock, jazz, and blues harmony with a sound that is uniquely theirs. Originally crafted lyrics by singer/songwriter and guitarist Bob Buckley puts Free Henry! outside the norm, as they lay a basic foundation of melodies and layer upon layer of new-age sounds. This young quartet loves to jam, and their diverse compositions display their intricate and dynamic groove.” ~Caitlin DeRose, Artvoice Magazine (Buffalo, NY)
