St. Augustine musician Amy Hendrickson went from coffee shop musician to front-woman of her own band.

Hendrickson’s band, Amy Hendrickson and the Prime Directive, played for the first time at the Suwannee Springfest in Live Oak, Fla. “I think festivals feel like home,” Hendrickson said. “I’m grateful to even be playing music, but this is the icing on the cake.”

The band consists of Stephen Pigman on bass, vocals and guitar, Steve Hawkes on drums, Corey Peterson on the saxophone, Jim Johnston on lead guitar, and Hendrickson on guitar and vocals. “I love that the boys let me be me and let me be shiny,” Hendrickson said. “These are my boys, they know me and we are bonded for life.”
