If there’s anything that Jerry Lee Lewis and his piano showed the world, it’s that you don’t have to have a guitar strapped on to make it to stardom.

While the ivories may still be a bit of an afterthought when it comes to rock music, Henri Herbert—a Nashvillian-turned-Englishman with over 100 million views on YouTube—strives to resume the ancient art of keeping the piano-based rock subgenre that is boogie-woogie alive.

Herbert, whose resume includes sessions with Nas and Bryan Adams respectively, says he’s working on material for an album due out later this year, so don’t be shocked if you hear something brand new at this intimate cabaret show.

Tickets to see Henri Herbert play Side Door Cabaret at Palladium Theater in St. Petersburg on Saturday, July 12 are still available and start at $40.
