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 2021 release, Chasing Echoes, debuted at #2 on the folk radio charts. His newest album, MacGuffin, was released at Falcon Ridge Folk Festival in July of 2023 and is gaining traction. 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 Richard Shindell, Peter Mulvey, and Vance Gilbert.
As an educator, Phil also brings his passion for performing into the classroom. In 2023, he was awarded the Vermont Music Educators Association's Music Educator of the year.
