Henry Jamison Henry Jamison

Henry Jamison’s upcoming third LPThe Years was produced by Doug Schadt(Maggie Rogers, Claud) plus long-standing collaborators Thomas Bartlett(Florence & The Machine, Sufjan Stevens) and Harris Paseltiner of Darlingside. Featured vocalistMaisie Peters and composer Nico Muhly(Adele, Bjork) round out the cast on what Jamison’s most dynamic and diverse collection of songs to date. Since his 2017 debut Wilds, which was humbly produced with two friends at a sugarbush/apiary in his native Vermont, Jamison has branched out to become one of the most interesting collaborators of his generation. His 2019follow up Gloria Duplex explored identity, class, and masculinity over baroque textures and performances from Thomas Bartlett, Rob Moose(Phoebe Bridger, Bon Iver, Taylor Swift), and Shahzad Ismaily(Damien Rice, Nils Frahm, Marketa Irglová).In 2020 Jamison releasedTourism, a five-song folk collection, featuring JOSEPH, EdDroste, Fenne Lily, Darlingside, and Lady Lamb. Jamison’s uncanny ability to weave folk lyricism and instruments through a popular veneer has led to over 300Mstreams and widespread praise, especially from his peers. Adrianne Lenkerdescribes, “Songs that sing me through mazes of my own sensuality and sadness and help me to feel less alone in the journey to understand myself.”Raised by a classical composer father and an English professor mother, Jamison was drawn to music and lyrics from his earliest days and began recording his own homemade cassette tapes while he was still in elementary school. Going further back in Jamison’s lineage, you’ll find George Frederick Root, the most popular songwriter of the CivilWar era and the author of the iconic “Battle Cry of Freedom.” Keep going even further to 14th Century England and you’ll find poet John Gower, a favorite of Chaucer and King Richard II.
