Here comes your Twenty-First
Century Rising Star
San Diego rock collective MRS. HENRY announce their Rock Opera KEEP ON RISING, the story of YOUR TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY RISING STAR, a rocker who is reaching for the top and will stop at nothing to slake his appetite for rock n roll glory.
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.
The story
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.
But is YOUR TWENTY FIRST CENTURY RISING STAR an avatar for Mrs. Henry?
Or are they just singing his (Their?) story for us?
KEEP ON RISING was born in the dark times of 2020, when Mrs. Henry’s original lineup – keyboardist Jody Bagley, guitarist Dan Cervantes, bassist Blake Dean, and drummer Chad Lee – were in lockdown and dying to get back out on the road. They focused their pent-up musical energy and poured it into writing and recording three acts of rock n roll drama, thirty-eight songs that twist, turn, rage, scream, honk, tonk, chunk, and funk, sometimes outrageously over-the-top, occasionally quiet as an angel’s wing.
