Dave Herrero
Austin to Chicago
Hero Music Group
Its title tells the literal path Dave Herrero took to this blistering debut. His playing and singing are tough and vulnerable at the same time, his choice of covers is marvelous, and his originals capture a classic vitality and feel without feeling like museum pieces.

Usually I'm head over heels for anything that pours from Nathan Moore's quill, so it was surprising how long it took You Yeah Smokin' Hot (Reapandsow Music) to open up to me. This is even more odd when one considers that Smokin' Hot is far and away Moore's most readily accessible, modern radio friendly set to date.

reapandsow welcomes world acclaimed artist Chris Berry and his many many projects to our family of artists....


"Carrying the torch for tomorrow" - Harry Belafonte

"This sh-t is f-ckin crazy!" - Eminem

Berry's story "sounds like it was written by a Hollywood script writer" (Steve Leggett, All Music Guide). Maybe that is because it is hard to believe that a California White boy moved to Africa, became a spirit caller, and went on to sell over a million records in Southern Africa, where he stil… Continue
