UHF is a Canadian folk-rock supergroup consisting of veteran singer-songwriters Shari Ulrich, Bill Henderson (of Chilliwack), and Roy Forbes (Bim). Formed in Vancouver in 1989, the trio represents a convergence of three distinct pillars of the Canadian music scene.
Their sound identity is defined by high-level musicianship and a commitment to acoustic purity, eschewing the electronic trends of their era for a timeless, harmony-driven approach. Career-wise, the group functions as a recurring collaboration between the members' solo careers, releasing two acclaimed studio albums that have become staples of the Canadian folk canon. Critically, they are praised for their 'ego-less' collaboration, where three established leads blend into a singular, cohesive unit. Their influence is felt primarily within the Pacific Northwest folk scene, maintaining a dedicated following among audiophiles and fans of classic singer-songwriter craft. The group's cultural position is that of 'musician's musicians,' valued for their technical precision and the emotional maturity of their lyrical storytelling.
