Artist History Black Dreaming Place is a realization of a lifelong dream, states Henry. Its an album made for music sake. Imagine someone liberated from the trappings of commercialism and makes an album out of pure love of music and the craft. An accomplished guitarist of 18 years, Henry was a member of Give, a Vancouver-based band known for its diverse mix of rock, folk, blues, and jazz influences. Henry's debut album showcases his personal writing style developed during his time with Give and refined in subsequent years, and features a unique signature that combines organic instruments with digital technology.
