JOE HENRY

In a career spanning more than 30 years, Joe Henry has left an indelible and unique imprint on American popular music. As a songwriter and artist, Mr. Henry is celebrated for his exploration of the human experience. A hyper-literate storyteller, by turns dark, devastating, and hopeful, he draws an author's eye for the overlooked detail across a broad swath of American musical styles -- rock, jazz and blues -- rendering genre modifiers useless. Mr. Henry has collaborated with many notable artists on his own body of work, including Don Cherry and T Bone Burnett (Shuffletown, 1990), Victoria Williams and the Jawhawks' Gary Louris and Marc Perlman (Kindness of the World, 1993), guitarists Page Hamilton (Trampoline, 1996), Daniel Lanois and Jakob Dylan (Fuse, 1999), Ornette Coleman, Brad Mehldau, Marc Ribot, Brian Blade, and Meshell Ndegeocello (Scar, 2001), Bill Frisell and Van Dyke Parks (Civilians, 2007), Jason Moran (Blood From Stars, 2009), Lisa Hannigan (Invisible Hour, 2014). In addition to his own recordings, he has cultivated quite a reputation producing records for other artists - Bonnie Raitt, Solomon Burke, Allen Toussaint, Lisa Hannigan, and Meshell Ndegeocello to name a few. Four of his productions have won Grammy's, and many others have been nominated. He has scored music and written songs for various films: Jesus' Son, Knocked Up, Motherhood, and produced tracks for the film I'm Not There. He also wrote the song "Stars" for the closing credits of HBO's Six Feet Under. In 2017, Henry released his 14th studio album to-date, Thrum. On 2023's release, All The Eye Can See, Joe is joined by more than 20 musicians, among them his trusted long-time musical companions and friends – his son Levon Henry on saxophone & clarinet, David Piltch on bass, Patrick Warren on piano & keys and John Smith on acoustic guitar.
