Greg Herman

BIO/DESCRIPTION

Active as a musician since 1985, Greg writes about the land, family, history and any ideas he can catch. His lyrics rise authentically from the southern Alberta plains where he works and lives.

At 16, Mercury Zephyr, Peavey T20 bass, and a hundred pound Yamaha amp were the tools to get started at the Medicine Hat Elks club, with an old time band, Common Country. This was a great education as recently my interest has swung back to flatpicking and mandolin becoming part of the set.
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. Some recording with the band and playing on Tim’s record started an interest in writing, which continues to this day.
In 2016 I began recording my own songs, mostly self produced with the help of some amazing musicians. I’m looking forward to 2026 with a new album and a couple projects with friends in the Medicine Hat area.
