Mr Henry and Side Hustle's Sunset Grille is more than just a song; it’s a laid-back, soul-infused invitation to unwind. Spearheaded by Washington D.C.-based drummer and songwriter Henry Weisiger, this track breathes new life into classic rock vibes while maintaining a refreshingly modern heartbeat.
From the jump, “Sunset Grille” cruises in with smooth grooves, vintage organ tones, and guitar licks that recall sun-soaked afternoons and timeless Americana. The drumming is, unsurprisingly, on point, fluid, expressive, and the work of someone who understands rhythm on an instinctual level.
Weisiger’s vocal delivery is relaxed yet confident, giving the track a conversational ease that draws the listener in without demanding attention. It's the kind of song that plays in the background of your best memories and somehow knows it.
What sets Mr Henry and Side Hustle apart is their ability to channel influences like The Beatles, Santana, and even Steely Dan, without falling into imitation. Instead, Sunset Grille feels lived-in, human, and honest music for people who love music. With this release, Weisiger proves he’s more than a sideman. He’s a storyteller, groove-maker, and solo artist carving his retro-modern lane one soulful track at a time.
