HERRICK, a group with a unique blend of country, rock and indie spirit that has been building a big buzz on Music Row with their tight harmonies and well-crafted songs. With their song "Cry Memphis' recently garnering them the International Acoustic Music Award for Group of the Year, and SMA Country Group of the year. Herrick is blazing a new trail in the Nashville arena. In pulling together tracks for their upcoming album, they have been working with top producers like Buddy Cannon (Kenny Chesney) and top musicians in both Nashville and Los Angeles recording tracks for the album.
Herrick's intricate harmonies, heartfelt lyrics and distinctive sound combine the best of country, rock and blues allows them to stand out in any crowd. The group is formed by lead singer/mandolin player Donna and brothers Kerry (bass) and Kevin (guitar) Herrick and recently adding Drummer/Percussionist, Randy Ridenour.
The Herrick brothers began as a duo, singing gospel music around their hometown of Spokane Washington. A few years later, Donna joined the group and they began to write their own music. Their never-ending energy and strong work ethic quickly led Herrick to playing rodeos, festivals and clubs all over the Northwest and performing with acts like Kenny Chesney, Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, George Jones, Emmylou Harris, Sam Bush, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and more. They made the move to Nashville to bring their music to the masses.
We just try to write songs that are real and a reflection of how we are feeling musically at that time," Says Kerry. His brother Kevin adds, "We don't write to a template or try and calculate how a tune might sell in some market. It just comes out of us naturally as we pull a song together. It's very organic." "We are currently in the studio working on an album of new songs and 'Cry Memphis' is one of the first we put together," claims Kevin. "We are so excited about releasing Cry Memphis in July." We have worked really hard to get where we are."You know you're onto something when the musicians start to get excited about the song while they're recording it," says Donna Herrick, lead singer and mandolin player.""We just try to write songs that are real and a reflection of how we are feeling musically at that time," adds Kerry. "We're getting a really big response whenever we play the new songs out too, which is great because it means we're writing songs that are really relatable. That's something that comes natural to us. We just write what we are going through at the time."
Herrick's new Single, "Cry Memphis" is slated to be released in July. Followed by the music video to CMT, GAC and More.
