"The bell pure voice of Bruce A. Henry."
Miami Herald
Henry's music infuses art with social consciousness, an effort that follows those earliest musical influences, from classic jazz voices along with Gil Scott Heron and Leon Thomas to gospel singers like Mahalia Jackson and James Cleveland. The soul singers from the 1960s and 1970s were also very influential in his growth and musical perspective. For him, music is a sense of human empowerment.
In that empowerment, the creative fire of musicians runs deep, and Bruce has gone deep, in his own recordings and through collaboration with other of musicians. You can find him on recordings by Marc Anderson, Dean Magraw and Steve Tibbetts. His past collaborations include Jimmy Jam and Bobby McFerrin.
"Connections is not just a masterful work, but also a portrait of the complexities and potential of the human spirit."
Mpls.St. Paul Magazine
"He proves he is not just a singer with outstanding skills, but also a man of great musical imagination."
