Meet: The Herland Brothers, an acclaimed 5 piece suburban Boston band who deliver an energetic blend of rock and country!
All 5 of the guys in The Herland Brothers band have been making music since elementary school. Three of them have been doing it together their whole lives because, as the name suggests, they are brothers! Meet all the boys in the band:
- John Herland- lead vocals
- Scott Herland- lead guitar and vocals
- Frank Herland-keyboards, acoustic guitar and vocals
- Cowboy Dan McGrath- bass and vocals
- Dickie Paris- drums and percussion
Collectively, their influences range from current artists like Tim McGraw, Keith Urban and Zac Brown Band, to classic artists like the Eagles and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Wherever the inspiration comes from, one thing is for sure, these boys are bound and determine to have a good time. Over the years, the Herland Brothers have done quite a few gigs with us. They know how to bring the party and energize the crowd, guaranteed!
