"One of America's finest acoustic guitarists and blues educators." -
Cascade Blues Association

"...an uncanny grasp of so many different Blues styles." - Holler, Colorado
Blues Society

"Each song is presented with a heartfelt depth rarely witnessed these days
amongst all the amplifiers and studio embellishments... Herman proves to be
a seasoned storyteller above all, as well as an accomplished guitarist." -
Blues Revue Magazine

"Robert Johnson, Big Bill Broonzy, and Muddy Waters were giants of the
genre he grew up listening to and who live on through the evocative, haunting
acoustic slide-guitar style he plays." - The Reporter, San Diego, CA

"...plays a powerful variety of hard-driving acoustic blues, a crowd
pleaser." - Mississippi Valley Blues News

"...a mean, clean guitar picker." - San Francisco Examiner

"The only thing better than hearing his recordings is seeing Hawkeye Herman
in the flesh. Whether adding his own spin to blues classics or offering his
own songs, Herman is a one-man history of blues, noteworthy guitar player
and inimitable communicator. Miss him at your peril." - Blues Access
