Sena Ehrhardt is considered to be one of the freshest and most dynamic young voices on the blues scene today. She was born and raised in a house full of blues and was mentored by her father, blues guitarist Ed Ehrhardt. Sena has taken what she's learned from her father and developed her own personal and intelligent take on the blues. In 2011, she signed with Blind Pig Records and received enthusiastic praise for her debut album, "Leave the Light On." Blues Blast Magazine voted that album "Best New Artist Debut Release." Ehrhardt herself was nominated for the Blues Foundation's "Best New Artist Debut" Blues Music Award. In March of 2013, she released her second album, "All In."
The Sena Ehrhardt band performs throughout the Midwest. Ehrhardt's band includes her father Ed Ehrhardt on guitar, Steve Hansen on bass, and Tim Hassler on the drums. The performance took place at JazzFest 2012 at Yankton Trail Park in Sioux Falls on July 27th.
