“Hendrix Effect” is a three piece band from Northwest Indiana. A dedication to Jimi Hendrix, but we also play blues and other classics from this era since Jimi loved the blues and covers.

We have Paul Navarro on guitar and lead vocals, Mason Wilson on bass, and Jesse Fernandez on drums/vocals.

Started as a side project for Paul, Roger, and Jesse to perform our favorite Jimi Hendrix songs at open mic nights across the region; you may have caught us in our formative time testing songs as we learned them. Hendrix Effect played their first club date in August 2023. Jimi’s catalog is deep with “blues, rock, and freak-out tunes” as he himself labeled it. While ‘Are You Experienced? boasts his essentials, we take our listeners on a journey through all three studio albums such as the Band of Gypsy’s, live and deep cuts that all fans will love.

Through the summer of 2024, Hendrix Effect played and headlined numerous festivals in the Region. In October 2024, Paul was invited to host a monthly “Hendrix Jam” at Verona’s Pizza in Valparaiso, Indiana. All ages welcome and encouraged to jam! Catch even bigger things happening in 2026!
