[edit] Biography

Brother Henry is a rock n roll band hailing from Nashville, Tennessee consisting of three brothers and a frère non de mère ©. As touring and recording sidemen, they have contributed to artists such as Ben Folds, Indigo Girls, Cowboy Junkies, Guster, Sixpence None the Richer, Steve Earle and R.E.M..

Brother Henry is fronted by twin brothers David Henry and Ned Henry. Along with older brother Jeff Henry and Park Ellis, the group has been called "A Southern Crowded House with a Cello". The genetics of the band allow for a vocal blend that listeners often compare to The Everly Brothers. Based in Nashville, TN, the band continues to build fan support in Nashville, Atlanta, Charlotte, Louisville, Winston Salem, Asheville and other locales in the Southeast, United States.

For many years, members of the band supported other musical acts. David Henry is a sought after producer, engineer and cellist. See David's link of album credits on AllMusic.com below. David and Ned Henry have provided strings on many recordings. Both David and Ned have toured with other acts as sidemen including Guster, Josh Rouse and Cowboy Junkies. Park Ellis is a former staff songwriter for Almo Irving Publishing, in Nashville and toured with Sixpence None the Richer.

In 2004, The Brothers released their first album, "Come On, People." They capped their 2004 tour with a live album "Live At The Basement", recorded in Nashville. In the summer of 2005, the Brothers released their second studio album "Chasing Happiness," with two tracks featuring guest keyboardist Chuck Leavell (Rolling Stones, Allman Brothers.) Ben Folds shot photos for the CD with vintage cameras after David and Ned cut some tracks for Ben's Epic Records release, Songs for Silverman. Brother Henry reached a milestone in May 2006. The band was invited to play a concert with The LaGrange Symphony Orchestra in LaGrange, Georgia. (Click here for photos of the event.) The band is currently working on their third studio album to be released in the spring of 2007.
