Moss Henry shares new single “Potholes”

Moss Henry’s journey as a songwriter is one based in both heritage and exploration; raised in Knoxville, Tennessee, his earliest inspiration came from home, with his mother’s own artistic expression as a singer-songwriter planting the seed for his lifelong connection to music. Over the years, that spark has grown into a career defined by heartfelt storytelling and a sound that pairs folk, country and Americana stylings.

Recently, Moss traded the Smoky Mountains for the turquoise waters of the US Virgin Islands, where he’s become a central figure in the St. John music scene, performing for both locals and visitors while stitching his seafaring lifestyle into his creative pursuits. Beyond the stage, he holds certification as a 50-ton master captain, balancing his life between music and the open sea.

At the start of this year, he stepped out as a solo artist with his debut single “Damn Good,” followed up by his sophomore outing before sharing his debut full-length record, Gone Away, in March. Now he brings us his latest release with his brand new single titled “Potholes,” one of his most personal and relatable offerings to date. Released via Good Duck Records, the single also marks another step in Henry’s ongoing collaboration with manager Charles Iwuc at Fieldhouse, a partnership that’s helped channel his vision into a growing catalogue of music.

Penned on the heels of a recent tour, the track arrives as a road-worn love song that captures the highs and lows of constant travel and the pull of returning home. Framed with wit and warmth, he blends lyrical imagery with a laid back humour that softens the weariness of life on the move. The single was recorded at Coral Star Studios with production handled by indie veteran Allen Clapp of The Orange Peels alongside co-producer Taylor Lissadrello.

Brought in by the punch of drums, delicate layers of guitar strums, pulsing bass notes and intricate leads form a rock-tinged country backdrop as Moss’ rich vocal leads glide in to spin engaging melodic leads carrying storytelling lyricism. With stunning backing vocalisations adding a soulful aesthetic to the arrangement, the chorus serves up a catchy and truly charming sound that’s guaranteed to put a smile on your face.

Peppered with lightly gritty guitar tones which match Moss’ expressive vocals perfectly, slick lead guitar flourishes cast a superb instrumental bridge before the finale delivers one last moment of grooving musical magic. It’s a stellar new single from a talented singer-songwriter who once again shine with a timeless and thoroughly enjoyable jam that’s sure to win over fans around the world.
