Born in Indiana, Hendrix made the fateful decision to move to Texas in 1992 to attend the Art Institute of Houston—and he hasn’t left since. “It’s a good thing he stayed,” quipped Texas music writer Sara Cress. “It’s hard to imagine Hendrix’s grand, hilarious personality anywhere but in a state full of such people (think Kinky Friedman).” Turns out that decision was spot on, earning him two Houston Press Awards for Best Roots Rock and spots on stages alongside legends like Hal Ketchum, The Fabulous Thunderbirds, Hayes Carll, and James McMurtry.
His musical journey has taken him from national tours to iconic venues like New York City’s CBGB’s. With five albums under his belt and a sixth on the way, Hendrix has weathered the ups and downs of the industry while keeping his signature larger-than-life personality intact. That charisma is front and center in his music video for “Unhappy People,” filmed in a shockingly accurate replica of the Oval Office (Obama-era vibes and all). Seated behind the desk with uncontainable energy, Hendrix brings a swagger that makes you wonder if he could give any real Oval Office contender a run for their money.
His music serves as a shot of positivity and humor, detoxifying the heavy vibes of the times. Hendrix has built a reputation for breaking the mold, crafting a sound that’s unmistakably his own. With the upcoming release of Monsters and Robots, he's set to make a lasting impact on the music scene—one that’s sure to stand the test of time.
