About Eric's performances...
"Eric Herman was a big hit with our students!
We are a K-6 school and it is a challenge for
a performer to appeal to such a broad range
of interests, tastes, and attention spans.
Eric intrigued our younger students, while our
oldest proclaimed him 'cool'. His songs were
delightful and engaging and he adroitly wove
instruction into his performance."
Principal Christie Angrisano
Clinton St. Elem., West Seneca NY
"That was wonderful! It was absolutely
the best program we've had.
It was so appropriate and relevant and just
what school-aged kids need to hear.
It was awesome and no questionable content...
Love that! Thank you."
Alisha Self, Albany Oregon Events
and School Assemblies, Albany OR

"I see a lot of performers and Eric's unique interaction and willingness to engage directly with the kids by getting into the middle of the audience, jumping on chairs and providing all-around silly fun is hands-down wonderful.
His show is one-of-a-kind children's entertainment, and his approach is professional, educational
and just plain fun!"

"I took the kids to the library today for one of the summer programs that they have on shedule this year. Little Man whined about it a bit thinking it would be for 'babies' and he wouldn't like it. Well he was wrong that's for sure. He loved it and so did all the others that attended, children and adults alike. The singer was Eric Herman. He is a hoot and the kids just laughed and danced along. He really involves the kids during his show. If you have the chance to see him when he's in your town then I highly recommend it."
Maranda, Zachary LA
"We have seen Eric Herman in concert twice
at our library and he is great.
Really fun, silly and entertaining."

About Eric's music...
(What a Ride!)
"A children's musician with parent appeal- and a winning sense of humor- is exactly what you find with Eric Herman on his new CD, What a Ride!"

Christine Werthman, Parent Guide NY
"Eric Herman, where have you been all my life?
I have a PILE of children's music to report on that we listened to in the car on our trip to and from Portland, but this one must come first. Why? Because I'm so excited about him I'm about to rent an airplane and fly a banner around the entire state of Washington to let people know he'll be doing shows in Seattle."
Stephanie, Hear it, Love it, Share it
(Monkey Business)
"Monkey Business is one of the best kids records ever! Herman has a tremendous sense of humor.
Boy, were my kids impressed. If you have kids my age (42) or younger, you'll want this CD now!"
Tom Peterson, Victory Music Review
(Monkey Business)
"Inspired, clever and nicely-produced
rock tunes that will at once have you
dancing in the streets and bent over laughing
with milk squirting out your nose.
If "Prune Juice" doesn't get you
moving, nothing will."
John Wood, Kidzmusic.com
(Snow Day!)
"Eric Herman rocks!
Fans of Herman's last two children's CDs know they can count on Herman for fun music that transcends the usual insipidity spoon-fed to kids and painfully tolerated by parents in other children's albums. Snow Day! makes for great car listening, a boon anytime of year. Musically, the CD couldn't be more satisfying. Herman and the band perform rock flavored with disco, calypso,
surf music, country-western and more with consistent skill and enthusiasm."
Rebecca Packard, The Entertainer
(Snail's Pace)
"Snail's Pace gets a huge recommendation from my family. A lovely new collection of mellow pop music that is just perfect for getting your kids to wind down at the end of the day. Eric's new rendition of his classic "The Elephant Song" out-cutes the original. The new song that really stands out is "Scat Cat," a jazzy, finger-snapping tune about a prowling feline. My kids like just about any song about cats, but this one definitely delivers something out of the ordinary."
Phil Corless, A Family Runs Through It
"Eric Herman-- We are huge fans!!
We spend copious amounts of time on his site.
It is uplifting and appropriate; I love him as
well as my 6 year old and 1 year old.
The man rocks."
Stephanie W., Portland OR
(Snow Day!)
"Eric Herman's third release for children celebrates unanticipated interruptions in the daily routine, such as finding out that school has been cancelled due to a snow storm. This fun album features a variety of musical styles, from the movement inviting disco "Dance Like an Animal" to the reggae-styled "Hot Sand".
Kids will find these songs almost as much fun
as an actual snow day!"
Kirsten Martindale, School Library Journal
(The Kid in the Mirror)
"The whimsical imagination of a child will be awakened by these funny story-songs.
Herman's knack for imaginative production
draws equally from Sesame Street and the Beatles, which is sure to make him a
favorite among parents and their
discriminating youngsters."

(Snail's Pace)
"These 12 richly crafted, fellow-mellow tunes
are just about perfect for wind down and sleepytime or anytime you have a
hankering for good music."
John Wood, Kidzmusic.com
(Snow Day!)
"Non-stop fun with an enormous variety of musical sounds and styles, silly voices, and wacky lyrics. There is a lot going on in Herman's music, but it's fun and enjoyable, especially for kids. I would suspect that even an 8-year-old who forgot his Ritalin would sit still and give his undivided attention to an Eric Herman performance. His writing is clearly geared toward elementary-age kids, but there is plenty here for parents to enjoy, too."

"Herman has his finger on the pulse of what works in writing, producing and performing songs that appeal to children and adults alike."
John Wood, Kidzmusic.com

"More thoughtful, reflective takes on what makes being a kid great. Herman's sense of humor is as keen as ever. Buy with confidence!"
Tom Peterson, Victory Music Review
(Snow Day!)
"It's taken me awhile -- three albums' worth -- to put my finger on how to describe his music, but I think I've got it -- it's a mixture of Shel Silverstein and the Beatles. If you're a big Shel Silverstein fan, definitely check this out."
Stefan Shepherd, Zooglobble
(Monkey Business)
"My kids love to listen to music. They also love to laugh. Combine the two and you're talking audio gold in my house. Eric Herman does just that on his Monkey Business CD. a hilarious collection of songs about monkeys, pirates, tongue twisters, and prune juice. Yes, prune juice. From the polished production to Herman's pleasing voice
to the clever lyrics, there's something here for kids of all ages."
Phil Corless, A Family Runs Through It
(Monkey Business)
"A delightful package of creative children's music that will not annoy the grown ups.
Outstanding instrumentation, clever lyrics
and catchy melodies."
Bob Sylvestri, BestofWNY.com
(The Kid in the Mirror)
"I recently got a copy of The Kid in the Mirror and it is absolutely delightful! My kids loved "The Elephant Song" so much, I just had to get a copy of the full album and it didn't disappoint. Lots of great energy, humor, and (gasp!) artistry. It's like if "Sgt. Pepper's" was a kids album. And the best thing is that Mom and Dad both enjoy the album so much that the endless repeats of favorite songs are not ear-bleeding exercises
in patience."
Steven Stewart, Finland
(Monkey Business)
"A real treat! The songs are highly original... Simple and sophisticated humor that appeals
to both parents and kids."

"Eric Herman has vaulted to the front
ranks of children's performers with his fresh
and forthright sound. This time out he slows
things down, balancing his heretofore raucous
catalog with soothing sounds. "The Elephant Song" is an instant preschool classic."

Karen Hartmann, Dorset VT
"Eric Herman rocks!
As a teacher and a mother, I listen to kids music all day, every day. At home, in the van, at playdates and in my classroom. It gets a little bit (a lot) sickening after a while. Eric's site gives the impression that both he and his music are super fun. The impression is accurate!
Eric makes amazingly cool tunes for kids.
I (and my son and even my husband!) am totally enjoying Eric's CDs and I have faith that you will too, even if you're sick of the usual kids' music!"

"I wish I could share my almost-2-year-old's way of asking for (Eric's songs) -"Box! Box! I wan' Box!" being the best example I can come up with. And the fact that whenever "Bounce and Flap and Twist" comes on, no matter what they're doing, they'll drop it and start bouncing. Many a fight has been nipped in the bud that way. Parents of small children, I highly recommend them all."

"Thanks for coming to the Payette Public Library on June 7. My boys - 5 and almost 3 - and I enjoyed your music again this year. :) I bought all three CDs and they were a lifesaver at times this past weekend. We drove up to Seattle and when the boys got too bored we'd pop in one of the CDs and things would quiet down! My husband even enjoyed the music and lyrics.
We appreciate your music and the appropriateness of it. It's great to have fresh music that our boys can enjoy. "

"Thanks for coming to the Payette Public Library on June 7. My boys - 5 and almost 3 - and I enjoyed your music again this year. :) I bought all three CDs and they were a lifesaver at times this past weekend. We drove up to Seattle and when the boys got too bored we'd pop in one of the CDs and things would quiet down! My husband even enjoyed the music and lyrics.
We appreciate your music and the appropriateness of it. It's great to have fresh music that our boys can enjoy. "

"We received our packet of his music in the mail a couple of days before our family beach trip, and let me just say, what a lifesaver. It made a 10-hour-plus car ride feel like a lot, lot less…. We had so much fun with this music! We sang along with the songs we recognized, laughed at the tunes that were so very silly….and listened quietly to the ballads on his "quiet time" CD.
It's not just that the kids love his songs….it's saying something that (my husband) and I
love it, too! We simply cannot get enough
of the variety on these CDs."

"This CD is one of our favorites. We have teenagers through 2 year-olds in our home and we all know all of the words. In fact, only the kids know how to pronounce 'Cowboy Bergaleoukaleopaleous' correctly. Eric Herman's wit and clever lines shine through the verses and make the songs fun for the older listeners. His catchy tunes and rhythms make the songs fun to dance to for the younger ones. If you get a chance to see him perform live, the song "Hot Sand" will never be the same!"

"We love Eric Herman! His videos are so fresh and original. The kids love them. I think the current favourite is "Snow Day". They keep asking when it's going to snow in Malaysia, LOL.
I am desperate to buy some of his music."
