If instead of Garfunkel it was Robyn Hitchcock. So, Simon and Hitchcock, but one guy. Henning is a singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer, and performer. He has been a part of the Northampton music scene for years with his bands, Gentle Hen, The Fawns, School for the Dead, The Aloha Steamtrain, and Humbert (to name a few). Here's how Ray Mason sums him up: "Henning has his own unique way of looking at and commenting on the human condition. And in doing so he makes us think." Solo performer with a voice, an acoustic guitar, and a long catalog of thoughtful and memorable songs. Instagram: @henningo Twitter: @itsmehenning
