OUR STORY
⚡ Country Soul on The Rocks ⚡®
“Sewn up in organic composition and exquisite harmonies,theirs is a fabric held together with steel thread.”
~Nashville Voyager
HERRICK is a band of intrepid warriors of the studio and the road, with fervent fans who devour every new release feverishly.
Herrick has been called diverse, dynamic, and electrifying. Fronted by power vocalist, Donna Herrick, the band is part of the new wave of Country alt-traditionalists.
With flavors of Soul, Americana and Roots, Herrick is at once every edgy tradition and something brand new. Their spirited live show features compelling songwriting with assiduous instrumentation and arrangements, all punctuated by Donna’s soulful vocals. She is, after all, the singer Billboard Magazine called “… the next great female voice of this generation.”
Together since middle school, Donna and husband, bass player, co-producer and co-writer Kerry Herrick launched a DIY career early on, releasing music independently when the industry machine didn’t crank their direction. The lack of major label support has not hindered the impact of Herrick’s music. Their 2012 debut album “New Dance” co-produced by Donna and Kerry, Michael Bonagura, and Buddy Cannon delivered two singles that hit the Music Row Chart and a music video that hit the Top 20 on The Country Network’s Countdown. Their second album “Cottonfields” followed in 2016. Top music critics are counted among the band’s legion of fans.
The band boasts an impressive list of music awards including two IAMA International Acoustic Awards (Folk/Bluegrass/Americana Group of the Year), and more recently, Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, and Country Single of the Year at the Josie Music Awards. The band has also received a Bronze Telly Award.
In 2025, Herrick is satisfying the appetite of fans once again with a new collection of music. Bolstered by the talents of percussionist Richie Rivera, guitarist Jon Wisecarver, and keyboardist, David Van Walker, Herrick brings the goods.
The unmistakable sound of Herrick is the truly unique result of personal chemistry meeting musical chemistry.
"What’s that sound? Oh yes, I remember. It’s called country music. And I don’t mean the overly polished kind that Music Row usually serves us. I mean the Real Deal. Herrick is back to warm my hillbilly heart with ringing reminders of what old-school country can mean.
-Robert K Oermann, Music Row Magazine
"Donna has the uncanny ability to breathe emotion into a song and make the listener feel something. It's that moment when the lyrics of a song become more than just words.
Every member of this band play an important role in their sound. The instrumentation and arrangement of the songs is superb."
- No Depression Magazine
"This little girl can really sing!"- George Jones
::Quotes::
"When Herrick take the stage you see them and the spell is complete.
You see them where they truly belong - where they are meant to be...
Donna's pioneering vocal, a kind of audible kiss, a blurted confession backed by a fierce mandolin.
Kerry's legendary bass beats combined with his tight harmony blend.
Jefferson's master guitar sounds...
All of this through a dizzying, hour-long crescendo until the final band
hit."
"With intricate harmonies and a distinctive legendary
sound that combines the best of folk, rock, blues and
country, Herrick shatters the current country music mold and
creates a new path for it to follow."
"The songs written by Herrick run the gamut of emotions,alternating at times
between seething rage and a bruised
vulnerability. With Donna's powerful vocals, pummeling mandolin riffs, and swaggering attitude, It sounds a bit
like what might have happened had Led Zeppelin been fronted
by "a chick."
"The band has diverse influences like Ann Wilson (Heart), Ryan Adams, Dwight Yoakum, Merle Haggard, The Eagles, Emmylou Harris, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Waylon Jennings, The
Band, Evanescence and more... it's no wonder their music
combines many elements from different musical styles into a
new and unique blend. Fans label the band "A Breath of Fresh Air". Different is
very intriguing, and Herrick has been winning fans and music
insiders over with every show they play. Their innate instinct for creating high quality music has helped Herrick stand out from the crowd as they tour to standing room only
crowds across the country."
