Snow Day! is not a holiday or winter-time album, but embodies the thrill and fun of an unexpected break from routine.
Snow Day! press release:
6/20/06 Richland, WA - Snow Day! is not a holiday album, and it's not a 'wintertime' album... Snow Day! is just the next great CD of super huge kids' music by Eric Herman and the Invisible Band. The album embodies the thrill and fun of anything that is an unexpected break from the normal routine, much like the snow days Eric grew up with in Buffalo, NY.
Eric Herman now lives in the Northwest and performs cool tunes for kids in creatively entertaining shows around the country. Eric's music has been heard on PBS Kids and his second CD, Monkey Business, was called "one of the best kids records ever" by Victory Music magazine. John Wood of Kidzmusic.com called Monkey Business "inspired, clever and nicely-produced" and The Buffalo News calls Eric "an all-around entertainer" with "the genuineness of John Lennon and Randy Newman."
Snow Day! picks up where Monkey Business left off with 12 amazing tracks of upbeat and fun songs, including the disco-rock cooker "Dance Like an Animal", the surf anthem "I Can't Wait for Summer", the reggae howler "Hot Sand", and "Cowboy Bergaleoukaleopaleous", a country fried tale about the most unsung hero of the Old West. Snow Day! also has two bonafide toe-tappers in "No Big Deal" and "When I Grow Up", as well as a unique and compelling version of "This Little Light of Mine", which is a duet between Eric and inspirational vocal powerhouse Jen Marco Handy. Throughout Snow Day!, Eric demonstrates why he is becoming one of the top artists in the genre, with his tremendous sense of humor, his remarkable vocal and guitar ability and his talent for writing and arranging sophisticated but also very accessible songs that kids and families really love and want to hear again and again.
As he did on his first two albums, Eric again teamed up with popular funny poetry author Kenn Nesbitt for the words on four of the Snow Day! songs. Eric also co-wrote the song "My Lucky Day" with award-winning children's music performer Eric Ode. Snow Day! also features notable guest appearances by Branson mainstays The Hughes Brothers and the acclaimed singer/songwriter duo Border Crossing on "Cowboy Bergaleoukaleopaleous". Folk-rock troubadour Vince Martino plays some sweet harmonica on "This Little Light", and Eric's wife Roseann joins him for the hilariously "Batman"-esque "Steve the Superhero".
Snow Day! is available at Eric's website - www.EricHermanMusic.com, as well as at CDBaby and Amazon.com. The full version of "Dance Like an Animal" is currently available on Eric's website for your listening and animal dancing pleasure.

Reviews of Snow Day!
"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
"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."
- Amy Davis, The Lovely Mrs. Davis Tells You What to Think
"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
"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
"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. This new album starts out rockin' with the song Melody Ring and keeps up the energy in a variety of styles (with a couple slower songs that save the energy from getting over-the-top.) 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
"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!"
