ECMA 2024 Blues Recording of the Year Nominee, Joe H Henry, wakes host Darcy Walsh from his winter hibernation for a chat about recent flurries of activity, a deeper look into Joe, and a forecast of what 2024 will hold.
"With a voice as powerful as a wayward freight train, singer-songwriter Joe H Henry bellows the flames of gritty roots with a whole lot of soul.
The son of award-winning Canadian country musician Harvey Henry, Joe was born to sing. Gifted with a one-of-a-kind voice and a love for story telling through song, drawing from his musical roots and Metis heritage of the Red River Valley.
Joe’s younger years were spent riding freight trains from town to town with nothing but a faithful dog and a guitar, collecting life
lessons and harnessing the flame of inspiration that was often masked in struggle. Eventually settling down to raise a family, Joe moved to a homestead on North Mountain, Nova Scotia with his wife and five children in 2020.
With the release of his debut EP, Keep the Fire Burning, (Summer 2023) Joe is ready to wholeheartedly share his talents with the world."
