With a voice “as powerful as a freight train” and a soul that carries the weight of his lived experiences, Indigenous singer-songwriter Joe H Henry unveils his latest EP, Real Things—a raw and deeply personal exploration of life’s honest moments. Fresh off nominations for ECMA Blues Recording of the Year, Americana Recording of the Year (NSMAs), and Indigenous Artist of the Year, Henry is set to bring his signature blend of gritty folk, blues, and Americana to audiences across Eastern Canada on his Spring 2025 tour.

Rooted in reflection and resilience, Real Things is a product of solitude and revelation. "I wrote this song last winter, looking out over the Bay of Fundy," Henry recalls. "I was in a cabin our neighbors graciously offered me—away from the chaos of a house with five kids. It was my first time using this gorgeous guitar SGI sent me as part of an artist endorsement. In that moment, I realized—how did this once homeless, train-hopping, castaway of society find himself here, embraced by love and music?" (Real Things Concept)

From Keep the Fire Burning to Real Things, Henry has continued to channel his journey from a turbulent past into songs that pulse with authenticity. His voice—somewhere between Ray LaMontagne’s smokiness and Steve Earle’s grit—delivers every lyric with the conviction of someone who has been there. Tracks like "Only a Whisper," co-written with Chris Kirby and Clara Blanchard, and "Bad Dude," featuring Dave Gunning, pulse with the kind of folk storytelling that John Prine and Guy Clark made legendary.

With drummers Geoff Arsenault and Patrick Murphy, bassists Ron Hynes, Dan Baird, and Dave Gunning, and engineering by Lil Thomas (Sonic Temple) and John McLaggan (Parachute Mastering), Real Things captures the essence of Henry’s philosophy: to find solace in life’s simplest and truest moments. "Maybe the wilds of our minds feed the tide and keep rivers flowing." ("Real Things")

Henry’s Spring 2025 tour will see him perform alongside acclaimed artists like Brian Borcherdt (Holy F*, Dusted)** and deliver his own intimate solo and trio sets. With stops including The Carleton (Halifax, NS - SOLD OUT), Trailside Music Hall (Charlottetown, PEI), and the East Coast Music Awards in St. John’s, NFLD, Henry is ready to take the road once again, bringing his stories and songs to audiences ready to listen.
