Graham Henshaw + Musician in Port Melbourne, VIC

SEEKING

ABOUT

UK born guitarist with 20+ years’ experience playing soul, funk, and big band. Highlights include London Soul Collective — a regular wedding and corporate band that played to all kinds of crowds (including a member of Queen!), then, since moving to Melbourne in 2013, I have played with a number of live acts ranging from vintage soul to big band.

Lockdown was a turning point: I dived into music theory and began studying jazz, becoming a lifelong student of music. It opened up new sounds, richer harmony, and a deeper curiosity that still drives me.

By day I’m a general manager with an engineering background, but music has always been my passion. I’m relaxed, collaborative, and happy to put in the work—whether in rehearsals or behind the scenes. I lean into groove, pocket, and horn-line-inspired riffs, and I’m drawn to music that makes people move.
