Ernie Hendrickson

media release:

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. His second and third records, ‘Walking with Angels’ and ‘One For the Dreamers,’ found him working with industry veterans Bo Ramsey (Lucinda Williams, Greg Brown) and Chad Cromwell (Neil Young, Mark Knopfler), respectively.  Roll On,’ was released in the summer of 2019 and was recorded in Chicago by producer 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 all points in between, and his songs have been in regular rotation at over 100 different radio stations across the country.  Each performance is a unique exploration of melody and spirit, a must-see for any music lover.

Come help him celebrate the release of his new album, “Live at Cafe Carpe,” recorded here in December 2023!
