WITH THEIR LONG-AWAITED ROCK OPERA

KEEP ON RISING

MRS. HENRY TAKES US ON THE JUKEBOX HERO’S JOURNEY

  • Drawing on influences from AC/DC, Alice Cooper, and Guns N’ Roses to Queen, Billy Joel, and Outkast, KEEP ON RISING is a drama in three ebullient acts, steeped in the theatrical tradition of the Who’s Tommy and Quadrophenia, Frank Zappa’s Joe’s Garage, Pink Floyd’s The Wall, Genesis’ The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Andrew Lloyd Weber’s Jesus Christ, Superstar, and, of course, The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

    From the Angeleno funk of “Doin’ it Right” to the gritty sludge rock of “Back in the Grease”, Mrs. Henry’s four-part harmonies and huge riffs weave together sounds and vibes from across the rock n roll continuum to tell the timeless story of a young rocker who is dying to be reborn a star.

    Our protagonist, the author and victim of appetite YOUR TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY RISING STAR wants it all – and wants it now – from fame to sex to drugs to peace and love – and maybe even enlightenment. The road ain’t easy – it’s populated with gurus, pushers, angels, lovers, demons.
    KEEP ON RISING is the story of that journey, a magnum opus about desire, love, greed, and insatiable ambition, set across classic rock, metal, prog, and psychedelic soundscapes. Not to mention country, gospel, punk rock, funk and just plain good ol’ rock n roll. 

    The songs are woven into a singular extended composition by musical and lyrical themes that connect across the Rock Opera’s three acts, telling the epic story of our jukebox hero’s journey, the cycle of rock n roll rise and fall.

  • Illustrated book, a 12x12 bound collection of lyrics, iconography, and even piano sheet music – the full musical score for “It’s Never Too Late ... for an Overture”. Forbes’ hand-inked icons unlock the story like keys. 

    So here it comes, straight outta San Diego like a bat out of hell, a signal from a Twenty-First Century where Rock Rules as King, its genres pressed together in service to the Glory of blazing guitars, beats that birth a billion worlds, organs swirling galaxies, vocals screaming cosmic fire ... 

    HERE COMES YOUR TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY RISING STAR!
