  • 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. He's released 3 CDs of original music, the latest being "Timber," an enhanced CD that also showcases Ritt's filmmaking. As a sideman, Ritt's accompanied Chuck Berry, Tom Jones, Buddy Rich and Martha Reeves, though unfortunately not at the same time.

Below, feast your eyes on "TIMBER: the trailer," a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the brand spanking new CD, "TIMBER: the album."



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