Full of heartfelt lyrics, their music is dynamic and appealing, yet it is unconstrained by "formulas" for hit songs. It's real, it's earthy and it doesn't pull any punches when it hits you right in the gut.
The band is serious about its ability to perform live. "Everyone in our band is able to burn his instrument down to the ground,"notes Donna, matter-of-factly. "We are blessed to have such strong musicianship. These guys are not just my best friends, they are also top notch musicians." "We are serious about giving all our energy to our fans."

The band is brimming with showmanship and attitude with tight/strong vocals & harmonies. Herrick's live High energy performance translates seamlessly to their new album, "New Dance".
NEW DANCE, Herrick's new album is one that opens the door to the soul of Herrick and lets you take a peek of what's going on inside.
"These songs are truly HERRICK!, Says Donna. "We were so tired of hearing, "You guys are incredible Live". "You are so much better live than on the CD!" "Don't get me wrong, it is a great compliment to our live performance. But this time around you will hear Herrick as Songwriters, Vocalists, Musicians and Co-Producers."

She can walk into a room and kick your butt.
"We never stop writing, " Says Donna, " But when we finalize a song, we always sit together In a room and work the song from top to bottom. Every song is truly HERRICK. Through & through. We tap into our emotions and let it ride."Donna 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."Of course it's great when someone comes up and tells you how much one of your songs touched them," comments Donna. "But we write music for us first. It's the only way we know how to make music. And we've found that what we are feeling or going through at the time is often what's happening in everyone's life."
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 riffs, and swaggering attitude, It sounds a bit like what might have happened had Led Zeppelin been fronted by "a chick."
