henrysense

Henrysense began as a songwriting project after Darrel and Chris met while working out of the same office in downtown Halifax. Most of the writing and arranging is done through sharing home recordings over email. Ranging from old-style folk ballads to experimental indie rock tunes, henrysense draws lyrical inspiration from the history and geography in Nova Scotia, often writing about fictional characters in local settings. While continually defining their sound, henrysense works within their established ideal of mixing natural acoustic sounds with experimental elements to create broad textures. Musical influences include Iron and Wine, Gord Downie, Josh Ritter, Sufjan Stevens, Wilco and local artists like Joel Plaskett and Jenn Grant. This fall and winter will see henrysense playing more open mics throughout the city as well as working on a professional recording.
