Texas singer/songwriter, Weldon Henson, offers traditional honky-tonk music with a contemporary touch to the Texas music circuit. Having spent much time in many Honky Tonks and Dancehalls, Weldon’s musical and entertaining abilities stretch far beyond the norm. And with his genuine, professional approach to music it is easy to see why so many have started to pay attention to Henson’s success both through his live performances and recordings.
Weldon’s band is a four piece that delivers a personal touch to the traditional style country. His repertoire contains too many songs to list and is large enough to take multiple requests and play longer than any place would ever need. Armed with an amazing voice and excellent entertainment skills, folks can expect to be involved and enjoy themselves while attending a show.
In December of 2007, Weldon released “Tryin’ To Get By”, a phenomenal record that by all means sounds nothing like a debut record. From the sound to the looks, Weldon’s record is filled with brand new Honky-Tonk music that is made for Texas, yet still provides a breath of fresh air for those in need of original and true country music. Weldon has a reputation in Texas that is growing with each and every show, proving that he can deliver great country music, from originals to requests, all night long.
Although Henson is a lifelong musician, his career took off in 2001 while in the military. “As a child, I played many instruments and sang quite a bit, but it wasn’t until then that the songs came together with the stage.” In late 2006 after many travels and shows abroad, Weldon was honorably discharged from the Air Force and returned to his home state of Texas.
Weldon Henson’s career continues to blossom from the many live shows that stretch up through the Midwest, Southwest regions of the U.S., and from his independently funded and produced record on Hillbilly Renegade Records. The following record is set for January of 2009.
“The music Henson and his band makes can be compared to music greats like Merle Haggard and Waylon Jennings but with their own unique, contemporary twist.” – Humble Observer
