Opie Hendrix creates something we don't come across very often in the industry... "He's the real deal..." (HOUSTON CHRONICLE) Opie Hendrix talks about his favorite waitress and other dangerous pastimes By John Nova Lomax (HOUSTON PRESS) "Racket recently spent an evening with Hendrix trying to find out exactly what that "our thing" was. First, he observed Hendrix broadcasting his Earthwire.net show Straight Jacket Junction, which is billed as "three hours of maximum C&W with the will to be weird." Talk about truth in advertising... Where there's a will to be weird, Hendrix shows the way... a little less huevos rancheros, a little more biscuits with sausage gravy... The accent is Southern, and so is the taste in music..." An intelligent songwriter, brilliant musician & master showman, Opie possesses an unbridled passion that is rare in todays music... "Dude plays a mean guitar, banjo & mandolin and his backing band the Texas Tallboys can ROCK any joint..." (HOUSTON PRESS)... Opie Hendrix currently calls Texas home & has established a considerable following in the Texas music market and tours the United States... He is a highly acclaimed songwriter.

Won the award again in 2004 and nominated again 2005 & 2006... Opie Hendrix headlines in some of the top venues in Texas and across the U.S. including the legendary CBGB in New York City, Nashville's Exit Inn and what seems like every Honky Tonk/ Night Club or Dancehall in between... Opie Hendrixs musical well runs too deep for his sound to be labled..."the Texas Tallboys are as much rock & roll as they are country..."(HOUSTON PRESS) Opie Hendrix has built a solid repertoire and a reputation for his shear audacity and GOOD TIME he generates EVERYWHERE he goes... OPIE HENDRIX IS A SOUL SHAKER!
