In this electrifying episode of Rabbit Holes, host Kawika Hoke sits down with piano firestarter Henri Herbert, the UK-born, Nashville-based boogie and blues phenom whose fingers have earned him viral fame, sold-out tours, and praise from The New Yorker and BBC Music alike.
From viral performances at London’s St Pancras Station to headlining prestigious venues like the Blue Note, Henri brings the raw power of American blues into every room he touches.
In this intimate conversation, recorded ahead of his Maui performances, Henri reflects on live performance as spiritual release and why he’s still chasing the groove like it's the first time.
Come for the music. Stay for the soul.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
