My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 05/09/2006
Band Website: www.polytonix.com
Band Members: I performed all the vocals and instruments on my first album "Shorter by the Second", with the exception of Aaron Helton's amazing vocal track on "Blame the Altitude".As for live performances, I've put together the Don Henderson Project, featuring Kim Coffey on percussion and harmony vocals. I'm not sure how I did it, but I actually convinced this amazing percussionist/singer into thinking my songs were worth learning and performing. This is as excited as I've ever been about making music, and I can't wait for folks to hear the sound we've been putting together!
Influences: Barenaked Ladies, Paul Simon, Dave Matthews, Michael Hedges, The Police, Elvis Costello, Mark Knopfler, Jimi Hendrix, Leo Kottke, REM, Monte Montgomery, Violent Femmes, Adrian Legg, John Mayer, Billy McLaughlin, Suzanne Vega, and any of a zillion other amazing musicians, depending on when you ask me...
Sounds Like: Not to cop out, but I guess I sound like myself, plus a healthy dose of any or all of the influences listed above, depending on the song.
Record Label: Don Henderson Music
Type of Label: Indie
