Bond Henry

Bond Henry, a Chicago singer-songwriter.Bond's songs often have a strong autobiographical element. One particularly personal example is “The Poor Man’s Dollar (The Ballad of Donald Lee),” which tells the story of his father and connects to Bond's own childhood experience in an orphanage in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Henry has also developed a live identity that moves comfortably between intimate singer-songwriter performances and fuller band settings. He has performed as a trio and has even played an acoustic show for a heavy-metal audience—a nice illustration of how broadly he approaches his musical influences. He continues to be part of the Chicago music community; his song “What's Your Name” was featured on WXRT's Local Anesthetic in September 2026. Bond is an interesting guy and a thoughtful writer-- I'm looking forward to talking with him. Join me next week for an evening of music and talk with Bond Henry!
