Herrick is a country-rock band built on real songs, raw vocals, and the kind of live energy that turns first-time listeners into lifelong fans.

 

Fronted by powerhouse vocalist, mandolin player, and acoustic guitarist Donna Herrick, the band blends country storytelling, southern rock grit, soul, and classic rock fire into a sound they call “Country Soul on the Rocks.”

​

Led by Donna and Kerry Herrick, the husband-and-wife heartbeat of the band, Herrick’s story is as real as the music they make. Their songs are rooted in love, survival, faith, hard miles, and the kind of truth that can only come from living it. With Kerry Herrick on bass, harmonica, and harmony vocals, Richie Rivera on drums and percussion, Jon Wisecarver on lead guitar, and David Van Walker on keys, Herrick delivers a show that is emotional, gritty, and built for the stage. Together, they create a powerful country/blues-rock sound that feels both timeless and alive in the moment.

​

Herrick has earned national attention for their unmistakable sound and Donna Herrick’s commanding vocal presence. Billboard Magazine once called Herrick “the real deal,” noting that the band “may very well contain the next great female voice of this generation in Donna Herrick.” That voice, paired with the band’s tight musicianship and no-shortcuts work ethic, has helped Herrick connect with fans across country, rock, and blues audiences.

​

Their music lives where heartache meets hope, where country roots meet rock-and-roll muscle, and where a song still has to mean something. From radio-charting singles like “Underneath That Old Cowboy Hat” to their deeply personal album Midnight Radio, Herrick continues to build a reputation as an independent band with a major-league sound and a fiercely loyal fan base.

​

On stage, Herrick is not background music. They are a full-force live experience: soulful vocals, big harmonies, driving rhythms, mandolin, harmonica, guitars, keys, and songs that pull the room in close before lifting it to its feet. Whether performing in an intimate listening room, theater, festival, or any setting, Herrick brings a show that feels honest, high-energy, and unforgettable. The show delivers a compelling mix of country/blues-rock originals and reimagined classics inspired by the spirit of Heart, Janis Joplin, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, and the great live bands that made audiences feel every note. Herrick does not recreate the past. They carry that fire forward with a modern country/blues-rock edge, emotional storytelling, and a live sound built to move a room.

​

Audiences consistently describe the experience as unforgettable: “Hands down the best concert I’ve seen in years.” “Jaw-dropping excellence.” “The real deal.” These are the reactions of people who know when a live performance has delivered something beyond entertainment.

​

Behind the experience, Herrick’s music has earned national chart recognition, including charting singles at country radio, and their work has appeared on the first-round GRAMMY ballot. The band has also received major independent music recognition, including being named two-time Indie Entertainers of the Year, earning Indie Country Song of the Year, and receiving recognition through the International Songwriting Awards. These honors reinforce what audiences already feel

in the room: Herrick is not simply another band on a stage,  this is a band built for the moment.

​

Herrick brings audiences back to the reason live music mattered in the first place, the anticipation, the connection, the release, and the feeling of being part of something that can only happen once, in that room, on that night.

Take your seat. Lock in. Feel it happen.
