Bronze Radio Return is an American indie/roots rock band from Hartford, Connecticut. The group was formed by Chris Henderson after he attended the Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford. The current lineup consists of Henderson (guitar/vocals), Hartt School alumni Rob Griffith (drums/vocals) and Matt Warner (organ/keyboards/vocals), and Patrick "Packy" Fetkowitz (guitar). The name Bronze Radio Return was inspired by an old radio Henderson grew up listening to in his father's art studio in Maine. As of 2021, the band has released five full-length studio albums, one live album, and several EPs.

Bronze Radio Return was formed in Hartford, Connecticut in 2007 by Chris Henderson. Producer Doug Derryberry (Bruce Hornsby, Ben Folds Five) discovered Bronze Radio Return at a show in New York City, and produced their first self-titled EP in 2008. In 2009, the band collaborated with producer/multi-instrumentalist Chad Copelin in Nashville to produce their first album, Old-Time Speaker. Songs from Old Time Speaker were licensed by Hollister Co. (Digital Love – Labor Day Playlist 2009) and the new CW Series 90210 (Lo-Fi on Season 3:305 Catch Me if You Cannon). The album also charted in the College Music Journal (CMJ) Top 200, where it peaked at No. 102, charted in the top 10 and even reached No. 1 for weeks on several stations. In the Oklahoma City Audition episode of 12th season of American Idol, the song "Worth Wondering" was used during the pre-audition back-story for contestant Nate Tao.
