Henry & Monique Folk Explosion!
Henry Taylor's unique blend of Americana—mixing rock, blues, folk, and country—has captivated audiences for over a decade. An award winning songwriter with six studio albums under his belt, Henry has graced iconic Canadian venues like Lee's Palace, the Dakota Tavern, and the Legendary Horseshoe Tavern. He's played in the round at Johnny's Cash's Storytellers in Bon Aqua, Tennessee and at The Bluebird Café in Nashville, Tennessee. In March 2025, Henry released the album SWEET THUNDER with three songs on the Exclaim Eh! List - the best new songs from Canadian artists. He performs in the Toronto area with his band, the Aviators, and alongside his songwriting partner and piano player, Monique Montgomery. They perform original songs on guitar and piano, and together, they are the Henry & Monique Folk Explosion!
