Paul Hendriks & Jerry Brace

A Rockin’ Acoustic Duo

Raised in the Lower Mainland, Paul Hendriks writes songs rooted in lived experience. His music reflects a lifetime of travel and cultural exploration, blending heartfelt storytelling with a global perspective. Whether performing his own material or rare cover favourites, Paul brings a warmth and sincerity shaped by years onstage — both solo and as the lead voice of Vancouver’s Scary Lizards. Stripped-down acoustic sets reveal his most intimate, emotionally resonant side.

Jerry Brace grew up in Montreal, where music was a family affair — long jam sessions and lively kitchen parties were the norm. That early immersion shaped his spirited, improvisational playing style. Since relocating to Vancouver, he’s become a familiar figure at venues like the Dewdney Pub and Holleyville Centre for the Arts, where his blend of roots, blues, and folk has built a loyal following.

Their collaboration began over a decade ago, sparked by a shared passion for deep cuts, classic songcraft, and musical storytelling. Together, Paul and Jerry deliver rich, dynamic performances that are steeped in tradition but always full of surprises — whether it’s an acoustic duo show or a full-band set.
