Phil Henry and the Newsfeed
Phil Henry is a top-tier singer-songwriter. Whether he’s telling stories or rocking out, he has a gift for smart lyrics, accessible melodies, and a welcoming voice.” – John Platt, WFUV, NYC
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.
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.
