Биография

No pitch correction, no click-track, just honest, smart, moving, and clever songs played with heart and friendship. Gentle Hen used to be called School for the Dead. They put out two albums and an EP under that name. Then they changed that name to Gentle Hen. They just thought it would be smart to make it harder for their fans to find them. Super smart. 
 The songs come from Henning Ohlenbusch . He presents them to the band. They kick-in and before you’ve finished your bagel, they’ve transformed the tune into a monster. Look out! A monster. 
 Explore their catalog. Work backwards from Be Nice to Everyone and Sneaking up on the Moon. Jump around and find their first full length as School for the Dead, The New You. When you’ve finished with that, make sure you learn about Henning’s solo records then discover The Fawns, which all members of Gentle Hen play in, then look up Sitting Next to Brian and discover the music of drummer Brian Marchese, or follow the bass playing Max Germer in Spanish for Hitchhiking and Winterpills. Go on the road and see guitarist/keyboardist Ken Maiuri with the The B-52's or tThe Mammals. Spiral down the rabbit hole of Rub Wrongways Records. Listen to the albums that Henning has produced like “Dear Mark J. Mulcahy, I Love You” or a cassingle by Polaris or The Shy Requester by Ray Mason or The Space Wanderer by The Salvation Alley String Band.
