Groovin’ on the Golden Hour: Mr Henry and Side Hustle’s “Sunset Grille”

There’s something instantly inviting about “Sunset Grille” by Mr Henry and Side Hustle, like the first sip of a cold drink after a long day in the sun. With a deep appreciation for vintage rock and groove-forward rhythm, Henry Weisiger delivers a track that feels both nostalgic and undeniably fresh.

Built around laid-back, textured instrumentation and a rhythm section that clearly benefits from Henry’s drummer instincts, the song oozes cool without trying too hard. There’s an easy swagger here, the kind you’d expect from someone who’s spent years behind the kit, absorbing the soul of every genre he’s touched, from blues to indie. You can feel echoes of Santana in the smooth guitar tones and a Beatles-esque warmth in the arrangement. But nothing about it feels derivative; it’s more like Henry’s tipping his hat to the past while carving out his own slice of sonic sunshine.

“Sunset Grille” is the kind of tune that takes its time, no rush, no frills, just good vibes and expert layering. Horns, harmonies, and tasteful keys wander in like the evening breeze, wrapping you in a haze of mellow charm. It’s a sound that lingers, like the glow of twilight on your skin.With this track, Mr Henry and Side Hustle don’t just play music, they set a mood. And that’s a beautiful thing.
