Will Henderson is based in Berlin and the other half of the band called The Hendersons is his sister Esther, who is based in Melbourne. It seems to be one of those “long-distance” bands that probably does not get together enough, but will do just that on January 10 at the Welders Dog and again on January 11 at the Railway Hotel when the two come home to Armidale to perform.

Will and Esther grew up on Taylor Street, went to Ben Venue and Duval High School before moving to complete their secondary education at Bellingen high. Will said he studied music with some amazing teachers in Armidale, including Alison McApline, Harry Goto and Steve Tafra.
Will Studied Classical and Jazz at the Sydney Conservatorium and has been living in Berlin and touring with Thezapshow.com and thelips.de. Esther studied Jazz at Monash University in Melbourne and is in the epic band Tek Tek, Dont Thank Me Spank Me and is regularly playing with other bands in the Melbourne scene.
The two will now be touring together and will have launch their debut EP late this year.
“Armidale has always had a very strong and supportive musical community and we were extremely lucky to have had this growing up,” Will said.
“It will be our first time coming back to Armidale to play together, but we have toured the east and west coast of Australia, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark and Ireland, playing hundreds of shows while exploring the sights, smells and tastes of the world.”
