She was the winner of the inaugural 2019 Chicago International Blues Piano Competition. She regularly tours throughout Europe\, Asia\, and North America as a solo artist (and as a member of the Cash Box Kings).

With their top shelf musicianship and trademark good humor\, the Cash Box Kings are a one-of-a-kind blues band. In the words of MOJO magazine\, the band is “flawless.” URL:https://cafecarpe.com/event/cash-box-kings-5/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20251220T203000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20251220T203000 DTSTAMP:20260414T033733 CREATED:20250915T044434Z LAST-MODIFIED:20251020T172544Z UID:10013-1766262600-1766262600@cafecarpe.com SUMMARY:ERNIE HENDRICKSON DESCRIPTION: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.
