Tim Henson: Guitar Hero of a New Generation. An Interview & Live Clinic at The Music Zoo!

Tim Henson - the guitar hero of a new generation gave an incredible in-store performance with a live audience Q&A at The Music Zoo, sponsored by Ibanez Guitars!

On August 29th, 2025 over 100 fans of Tim Henson and the music he creates with Polyphia gathered at The Music Zoo in Farmingdale, New York to see the talented guitarist perform song playthroughs and answer fans questions! This was an incredible opportunity to see Tim play up close, especially after two nights at Metlife Stadium where Polyphia performed opening for Korn and System of a Down! Many people in attendance at The Music Zoo were also at the shows, and they were more than happy to see Tim perform in such an intimate environment!
