Nicole Henry to Present WHEN I THINK OF HOME at 54 Below in December

54 BELOW, Broadway's Supper Club, will present award-winning jazz vocalist Nicole Henry in WHEN I THINK OF HOME on December 10 & 11 at 7pm.

HOME...Home often brings us back for the holidays...HOME is where joy, love and so much more are cultivated and learned. In WHEN I THINK OF HOME, award-winning vocalist Nicole Henry, along with her quartet of talented musicians, looks back on memories of growing up in Bucks County, PA, as well as spending the holidays with her family listening to the songs her uncle would DJ throughout Christmas Day! From holiday standards to soul, gospel and even disco, you'll enjoy songs that celebrate love, joy and the miracle of the season. Stephen Holden of TheNew York Times raved, "I had the sense of being in the presence of a pop-soul superwoman whose every gesture and inflection conveyed confidence and mastery." BroadwayWorld said, "So powerful is her charisma, so unique is her personality, so rich is her music, so abandoned is her joy that you can't watch her without being drawn in."

Henry's recent musical successes include her 8th album TIME TO LOVE AGAIN, which reached #4 on the JazzWeek Radio Chart, staying in the TOP 10 for nine weeks and in the TOP 40 for 20 weeks. It also garnered great success in the U.K. reaching #6 on the Sweet Rhythms Chart, #4 on Star Point Soul Radio and #3 on LondonMusicRadio.com chart.
