Robert Henry & The Repeaters

Honky Tonk music from the end of the Oregon Trail

"The beautiful thing about country music is that you can find solace knowing that whatever you’re feeling, someone else has felt it too, and you can be damn sure there’s a song out there that makes you think the writer was reading your mind."

Robert Henry, along with his band Robert Henry & the Repeaters, is well known in the music scene. He recounts his upbringing with a fondness for country music, which he listened to alongside his parents. However, his journey into songwriting and singing began later, at the age of 17. Initially involved in heavy metal during high school, he discovered that his voice resonated better with the country genre. Known for his passion for history, Robert was naturally drawn to country music's rich tradition, seeing it as a uniquely American style. He appreciates its fusion of African American blues' raw emotion with the storytelling tradition of the English and Scots-Irish folk music. The genre's honesty and emotional depth in its lyrics captivated him deeply, solidifying his dedication to it.
