Jo Henley

Over the past fifteen years, Jo Henley has established itself as one of the Northeast's premiere Americana acts. Formed by longtime collaborators Andy Campolieto and Ben Lee, the Boston-born and Saratoga Springs-based band is known for its adventurous blend of rock, folk, country, and bluegrass, plus a healthy dose of jamband improvisation. Inspired by everything from coffeehouse folk to arena rock, the band's love of all forms of American music shines through in Jo Henley. Since their 2006 debut EP, the band has toured nationally, headlined festivals both local and regional festivals, and released 5 critically-acclaimed full-length records, including 2010's "Inside Out," on which Lee and Campolieto were backed by Trey Anastasio Band members Russ Lawton, Ray Paczkowski, and the late Tony Markellis. In fact, Markellis played bass on nearly all of the band's records and performed upwards of 100 live shows with Jo Henley since 2008. Campolieto's and Lee's number one goal for Jo Henley has always been to put the craft of songwriting first and foremost, a fact that is not lost on fans and music critics alike. Boston music publication The Noise, in reviewing Jo Henley latest album, Around These Parts, wrote, "...the rhythm and poise with which the members of Jo Henley write and perform is exquisite. Touches of Robbie Robertson and the Band and all who followed in their footsteps echo throughout this collection. The range is beautiful. The lyrics and melodies have a very familiar feel throughout, as if we have dear friends in all these songs—a rare gift indeed." You can find Jo Henley performing their quiet ballads, country-rockers, fiery bluegrass, and deep, Dead-influenced jams as they win over new audiences up and down the East Coast, out west, and in a town near you. rock. folk. bluegrass. country. good.
