Phil Henry and The Newsfeed
Singer-songwriter Phil Henry has always believed in making it himself. As a kid, he was never content to only look at art, but instead he had to paint and draw something new. An avid fan of music, Phil studied the masters in music school but was drawn to the DIY pluckiness of folk music. He concentrated on steel-string guitar and writing his first original compositions. He builds detailed worlds and characters who speak through his words. The upbeat acoustic rhythm, melodic sensibility and lush instrumental treatment are no carbon-copy of popular or folk radio songs but is an expression of his individuality and craft. Performing with Henry (guitar and vocals) will be Mitch Barron (fretless and upright bass, and vocals) and Jeff Kimball (piano, electric mandolin and vocals).
