Ask Lewis Floyd Henry what his favorite music venue is, and he’ll tell you it’s the street. Busking is his livelihood. But it’s also a form of therapy. And in this candid interview, he offers a glimpse into his unique musical world—where the band is one man, and the street is his stage.
Wielding his double-neck axe and powered by a pair of heavily customized Roland CUBE Street EX amplifiers, Lewis Floyd Henry reveals why he always returns to the streets. As he puts it, you need to “find the place that suits your music.”
Take a trip down Brick Lane in London with the viral busking sensation, before following him to The Lexington in Islington, where he takes to an altogether more traditional kind of stage.
Lewis Floyd Henry has cultivated one of the most striking and enduring musical styles in busking history. From viral Wu-Tang Clan/Metallica and Biggie Smalls/Motörhead mashups to self-penned psychedelic eruptions, he’s a one-man band firebrand who turns heads wherever he goes. With hands, feet, and voice grooving deep in tandem, Henry’s singular ensemble of drums, bass, guitar, and vocals is spectacular to behold.
