Artist Biography
A gifted songwriter and vocalist, Joe Henry is known for intimate, richly detailed songs shaped by his eclectic musical world view, encompassing rock, folk, country, soul, and jazz. Henry's songs are personal, offering keen insights into his characters, his rich voice bringing their emotions into clear focus. His melodies are elegant and warm, regardless of the tenor of the music. Henry's early recordings were rooted in contemporary folk sounds (1989's Murder of Crows), and he would explore alt-country on 1992's Short Man's Room. 1996's Trampoline embraced a more adventurous tone, and 2001's Scar was an expressive jazz-informed effort. After a detour back into folk with 2016's Shine a Light: Field Recordings from the Great American Railroad (a collaboration with Billy Bragg), challenging life circumstances led to the creation of a pair of artful, deeply felt works, 2019's The Gospel According to Water and 2023's All the Eye Can See.
