Join us for a Q&A facilitated by Brock Clarke with musician, songwriter, producer, poet, and biographer Joe Henry. Henry will perform a selection of songs.

In a career spanning more than 40 years, three-time Grammy winning songwriter and producer Joe Henry has left an indelible and unique imprint on American popular music. Known for his exploration of the human experience, Henry is a hyper-literate storyteller, by turns dark, devastating, and hopeful. He has recorded 16 albums of his own, and his artist collaborations cross a variety of genres including T Bone Burnett, Ornette Coleman, Meshell Ndegeocello, and Billy Bragg. Henry was recently granted a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Americana Music Association at the Americanafest 24th Annual Awards & Honors. In September 2025, Henry released a collaborative album project with hit-songwriter Mike Reid, "Life and Time", on Thirty Tigers / Work Song Inc.
