Haiden Henderson, a California born and based singer/songwriter is currently on a revolutionary run. His career began in just 2021 with his debut single, “Unless”, to, just five years later, opening the stage for the Band Camino and 5 Seconds of Summer on their U.K. and U.S. tour. Thirteen Magazine caught him in Grand Rapids, Michigan, starting off an electrifying night for the 12,000 fans that packed into the city’s newest amphitheater.

With guitarist, Bella Perron, and drummer, Grant Whitson, the talented trio gave the crowd an unforgettable opening set. Unfortunately, you don’t always see fans in their seats for the opening acts. They may be getting snacks, merch, or still making their way to the venue. That was not the case for Haiden Henderson. Fans were packed against the barricade, and as a far back as the lawn, singing along to his original songs and even a Britney Spears cover. He commanded the crowd like it was his show and left it all out on the stage for fans old and, hopefully, new. With the way Henderson has seized this opening opportunity, it won’t be long until fans are solely screaming his name.
