Ernie Hendrickson

We’re so excited to have Ernie on the heated patio for the second time! He was definitely a hit last time.

We love his new album, described as “a crunching riff-rocker in the tradition of John Mellencamp or Bruce Springsteen, with touches of Todd Snider evident in its sardonic approach.”

He’s Americana and specifically Midwest but definitely influenced by his time in Nashville too.

We’re not worried about mother nature being moody, our heated, covered patio is ready for anything!

Greg Yde New Orleans Musician

We are so lucky to have Greg Yde, New Orleans native, on the heated patio RIGHT before he heads down to NOLA to make Mardi Gras music.

I'm sure he'll play some fun NOLA faves, but he also hangs with the Chicago Blues musicians when he's up here, so we're gonna unleash him to play anything that's been inspiring him lately.
