She is a Juno winner, four-time Grand North American Fiddle Champion, three-time Canadian Folk Music Award winner and two-time Western Canadian Music Award winner. A Berklee College of Music honours graduate, this young fiddler transforms her folk music roots into an exciting and dynamic new form and is an unforgettable performer and teacher.
Hernandez will join the Sunshine Coast Festival of the Performing as the folk instrumental adjudicator on Thursday, April 16 from 12 noon until 7 p.m. at St. John’s United Church in Davis Bay.
