Terri Ann Hendrix is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and independent artist who has been writing and performing an eclectic mix of Americana genre, encompassing folk, pop, country, blues, and jazz, since 1990.
[3] Hendrix has released at least 20 albums and EPs on her own Wilory Records label, co-wrote the Grammy-winning instrumental "Lil' Jack Slade" by the Dixie Chicks, and, in 2011, published a book, Cry Til You Laugh – The Part That Ain't Art.
It was while still a college student waiting tables that she began attending Kent Finlay's "Songwriter Night" at Cheatham Street Warehouse, eventually performing at other bars and restaurants around town and in nearby New Braunfels.
[2] In addition to writing and performing, Hendrix conducts songwriting workshops both in and beyond Texas,[6] and in 2012 she established the OYOU ("Own Your Own Universe") nonprofit, which offers educational and therapeutic arts programs, including for those who face neurological challenges or physical disabilities.
[11][12][13] Although this necessitated a scaling back on her touring schedule, she continues to write and record new music while also performing select live shows (mostly around Texas) and frequent live-streamed concerts from her home.
