About:

Michael "Hawkeye" Herman's passion for blues and roots music has inspired audiences nationwide throughout his 40+ year career. His dynamic blues guitar playing and vocal abilities have won him a faithful following and he leads an active touring schedule of performances at festivals, concerts, school programs and educational workshops in the U.S., Canada, and Europe. His original music has been used in video dramas, documentaries, and in four hit theatrical productions. In 2000, Hawkeye was the recipient of the Barrymore Award for Best Original Music in a theatrical production (Philadelphia's version of the Tony Award). His CDs, "Everyday Living," "Blues Alive!," and "It's All Blues To Me," have been greeted with rave reviews. He has had many articles published in national and regional blues and music-related periodicals. His Blues In The Schools programs are some of the "most powerful presentations" that teachers and students have ever experienced. In 1998 he was the recipient of the Blues Foundation's Keeping The Blues Alive Award for achievement in education and in that same year received the Key to the City of Davenport, IA, his birthplace. He served on the Board of Directors of the Blues Foundation for six years, and was Entertainment Chairman for the Mill Valley Fall Arts Festival, CA, for almost 30 years. Hawkeye was inducted into the Iowa Blues Hall of Fame in 2004. In September 2005, he composed, at the request of the British Broadcasting Company, "Katrina, Oh Katrina (Hurricane Blues)," detailing the hurricane disaster on the Gulf Coast. The song was aired to 7 million listeners on BBC Radio news' "Today" program. He is the co-founder of the Rogue Valley Blues Festival, Ashland, OR. Michael "Hawkeye" Herman has been called "The Midwest's Blues Ambassador," and there is great demand for his expertise and counsel from blues societies, blues educators, and musicians throughout the country. He has definitely carved out a spot for himself in contemporary acoustic blues, and has earned a reputation as one of the most accomplished artists in the genre. Enthusiastic audiences have come to know and appreciate his talent, dedication, and captivating performances.
