Ritt Henn

Bio:

Ritt Henn plays bass, writes songs and lives in New York City. Think Elvis Costello meets Charles Mingus in an elevator and Randy Newman's there taking notes.

Below, get a gander of a little automotive dilemma, set to the tune "Range Rover (Through the Mud Called Love)," from the album TIMBER.
