      Free Henry! will headline the free "Rock the Park" concert, the official summer kick off June 13 at 6:30pm in the Outdoor Amphitheater. Free Henry! nabbed the #1 spot in Artpark's "Rock the Park" local band contest that was held on the Artpark website for the duration of Summer 2010.

In the running were opening bands from the 2010 seasons of First Niagara presents Tuesday in the Park series and Coors Light Wednesdays series. Fans could listen to music samples from each band and vote for their favorite. After thousands of votes, Free Henry! took home the grand prize, their own headlining gig at Artpark. Contest participants (runner up?) Aqueous and the Little Mountain band will also take the stage as openers.

Since the release of its debut album, Summers on Neptune (2009), Free Henry! has coursed naturally toward the discovery of its musical identity — a band that traverses powerful song craft and stunning instrumental jamming. Over the last three years the group has honed the latter in the bars, clubs and on the summer stages of its hometown, Buffalo, New York, and the surrounding region. Road-testing the Neptune material — a mix of jazz- and blues- inspired rock that centers on love, lust and loss — allowed for the instrumental motifs of the songs to mature onstage.

 

As Neptune evolved, so did the band itself. Eclectic new songs started rolling in, eight of which will make up Free Henry!'s second album, Ethereal Gust (due out late 2011).
