Henry's House by Lo Faber
Henry’s House was my first double-CD rock opera, written and recorded in the winter of 2000 and spring of 2001. It tells the story of five kids in a magical kingdom who are forced to flee their homes and then rescue their parents. I also had the wonderful experience of staging Henry’s House as a musical at Hubbard Hall in Cambridge, NY in 2002.
I am so happy that there are still listeners out there listening to this album. I wrote and recorded it with an enormous amount of love and optimism in my heart, in a secluded converted barn in upstate NY while my wife was pregnant with our first child. It was a magical experience and is still a beautiful memory. I very much hope you enjoy the music and the story.
<3 Lo
