Ernie Hendrickson at Sidecar

Hailing from Shullsburg, Wisconsin, Ernie Hendrickson is a voice of American roots music, influenced by icons like Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, and Jerry Garcia. His 2007 solo record, Down the Road, which the Illinois Entertainer deemed “Groundbreaking,” pushed him onto the Midwest’s radar as an emerging singer-songwriter. He has gone on to make albums with industry veterans Bo Ramsey (Lucinda Williams, Greg Brown), Chad Cromwell (Neil Young, Mark Knopfler), and Brian Deck (Counting Crows, Iron, and Wine). He has played stages from the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville to the Living Room in New York City and his songs have been in regular rotation at over 100 radio stations nationwide. Each performance is a unique exploration of melody and spirit, a must-see for any music lover.
