ABOUT THE ARTIST
Singer-songwriter Phil Henry is a craftsman, weaving worlds with engaging characters who feel at once familiar. He’s a triple threat: powerful singer, captivating storyteller, and talented multi-instrumentalist. Whether performing solo or with his band, Phil Henry and the News Feed, Phil delivers endearing stories with music that crisscrosses genres without stepping on toes.
Phil's album, Chasing Echoes, debuted at #2 on the folk radio charts. His newest release, MacGuffin, debuted at the esteemed Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, where he was voted by the audience as a "Most Wanted Emerging Artist" the year before.
As a live performer, Phil Henry is a magician – casting a spell over the audience and taking them to places real and imagined.
Rather than being a performer who tries to please everyone, Phil is committed to sharing a deeper tradition with his audiences. "I come from a community of songwriters and acoustic roots musicians," says Phil. "I want to build human connections in the songs, like my heroes before me, from Woody Guthrie to Richard Thompson."
Phil Henry's performing resume includes festival appearances at Kerrville Folk Festival (TX), Black Bear Americana Festival (CT), and SolarFest (VT); listening rooms like Club Passim (MA), Ripton Coffeehouse (VT), and Caffe Lena (NY); and he's opened for acclaimed singer-songwriters like Mark Erelli, Richard Shindell, Peter Mulvey, and Vance Gilbert.
As an educator, Phil also brings his passion for performing into the classroom. He was honored to be awarded the Vermont Music Educators Association's Music Educator of the year.
