Born in Moncton, New Brunswick, Henderson Howells was raised in nearby
Sussex, and came by his passion for country music honestly, growing
up in a highly musical family. Henderson started playing his father’s
jumbo acoustic at five years old, and his grandmother gave him his first
guitar shortly thereafter. Henderson started learning from his father
and uncle, and then started teaching himself. He would listen to the
radio and play along with the songs every chance he had. At age 13 he
would watch live bands and then run home and imitate what they did until
he got it right. From that point on, Henderson could usually be found
with a guitar in hand and singing various styles of music. He then began
to write songs as well. Henderson then started playing live shows with
a family band at age 14, at which point he started to play for Chris
Cummings around New Brunswick, and played numerous live shows throughout
the years with other local talent during that time. At age 19 Henderson
moved to Brockville, Ontario to play guitar and sing with country rock
band Lonesome Road, while playing along with various bands covering
a wide spectrum of genres. He played and sang at shows opening for artists
such as The Barenaked Ladies, The Association, Valdi, Garnet Rogers,
Johnny Reid, as well as numerous others. Along with guitar playing and
song writing, Henderson also is a vocalist who enjoys playing around
with a variety of instruments. He has done numerous recordings in the
studio; playing guitar, singing, writing and arranging as well as producing
and playing tracks for
R & B, bluegrass, blues, country, Christian contemporary, and various
other styles of music for musicians over the years and is currently
working on his debut album On His Way Home. Henderson currently resides
in Ottawa, Ontario.
