D Henry Fenton is a singer-songwriter who was born in New Zealand to Ralph and Joan Fenton. Later raised in Australia, he strummed his first guitar at three. With hours of animated air guitar, Fenton’s parents witnessed this teeming passion firsthand, prompting the purchase of a Japanese metal guitar. Henry’s father was a band promoter, arranging shows for Bo Diddley and countless local, original, and cover bands. He later urged Henry to avoid the unreliable industry altogether. Respectfully ignoring this fatherly advice Fenton surged on, finally getting his break opening for the prominent Irish band, the Corrs. He went on to sign with Warner Brothers/Village Roadshow for a two-single deal. One of the singles dented the top 100. He then released his first solo album, Autumn Sweet, recorded by early R.E.M. producer, Mitch Easter. The album received substantial airplay in Australia and promising reviews internationally. The Sydney Morning Herald called it “a strange and magical album” and was given “pop rock winner” status in Rolling Stone. He went on to open for acclaimed acts including John Mayer and Colbie Caillat. Fenton’s music blends Celtic, folk, pop, and rock, bringing to mind elites like Van Morrison, the Smiths, Neil Young, the Beatles, and Crowded House.

He has just wrapped up his latest album called Turnin’ with engineer/producer, Steve Holroyd (Counting Crows/T
