  "account": "Cory Henry, the American original, is set to perform a single gig in Berlin at the Urania on December 4th, 2026. The concert is part of his \"Music From the Heart\" tour, which features his unique blend of genres such as Funk, Jazz-Funk, Soul, Neo Soul, and Gospel.\n\nHenry, who was born in Brooklyn in 1987 and started playing the organ and piano at the age of two, has released six distinct albums since leaving the band Snarky Puppy in 2018. These include \"The Art of Love\", \"Something to Say\", \"Operation Funk\", \"Christmas With You\", \"Divine Time\", and notably \"Church\", which won a Grammy for Best Gospel Roots Album.\n\nHis performances are characterized by his \"unconventional\" style, as he often surprises audiences by moving from singing to playing complex tunes like those from Chick Corea's \"My Spanish Heart\". He also has a deep romanticism in his songs, all about love and ecstasy.\n\nBefore his solo career, Henry released \"Gotcha Now Doc\" and \"The Revival\", a fusion of Gospel and Jazz, featuring a unique rendition of John Coltrane's \"Giant Steps\". He is also known to incorporate gospel elements into his performances.\n\nUpcoming appearances by Cory Henry include Helsinki, Katowice, and the new Blue Note club in London. The Berlin show will take place at 7:30 p.m. at the Urania, with tickets available for purchase.",
