GREG HERMAN
A Mercury Zephyr, Peavey T20 bass, and a hundred pound Yamaha amp were the tools to get started with an old time band, Common Country. This was a great education, learning from some seasoned musicians.
After a year with Common Country, my brother Tim invited me to play with his band Wichita, a well known group on the club circuit in Alberta and Saskatchewan. Easter week of grade 12 year was 6 nights with the band in Cranbrook BC, and I couldn’t wait for summer and a full schedule of playing. 40 plus weeks of six nights was the norm back then. Tim was gracious in letting me play drums, guitar or whatever spot was needed. Some recording with the band and playing on Tim’s record started an interest in writing, which continues to this day. Since 2015 my focus has been playing mostly my own songs when and wherever possible, between spending time with my family and helping to operate the ranch.
Things went full circle in 2025 going back to the instrument I started on, bass, playing with the Morgan Klaiber band and Fox and the Hounds.
I’ve had the good fortune to open for some well-known folk artists, and I strive to improve in all areas, whether that’s songwriting, guitar, or producing my own recordings.
The newest album of songs is Small Town Dance, self produced with the help of some studio pros, I can’t wait to get out and play these tunes in 2026.
