From soft fingerpicked ballads to harddriving jigs and reels, Henri's Notions creates a musical mix of traditional Celtic and American music as well as their own compositions that have a rhythm and voice reflective of their Southern heri tage, which lends a pleasing familiarity to the music. The Notions draw from a broad palette of melodious sounds: the ardent sounds of fiddle, lilting flute, keen tin whistles, ringing mandolin, and banjo, all played over the resonant tones and drive of the rhythm section, consisting of acoustic guitars, percussion, and bass. Lead voices dance through the intricate embellish ments that bring to life the old ballads and songs and all members lend voices frequently creating close, rich, wellbalanced harmonies. The group makes a point to provide backgrounds on the songs and instruments used during their performance and this has allowed Henri's Notions to connect with, educate, and inspire audiences for over thirty years!
Henri's Notions has toured extensively in much of North America and has performed abroad in Canada and Israel.
