Herb & Hanson

Acoustic Duo of Destruction

About Me


The Whiskey Fund is now available!!!! Herb and Hanson's new record is finally here and well worth the wait. Full of 14 brand spankin' new songs for your listening pleasure. You can get a copy from their website at www.herbandhanson.com , and of course, at all the shows!
The Herb and Hanson show has been traveling all throughout the Mid-Atlantic region and beyond to share their unique blend of acoustic music for more than six years. Calling on their many influences and heroes, they have created a vast catalogue of impressive original material to go along with unique interpretations of old time songs and fiddle tunes. Performing mainly on the East coast, the duo constantly travels through VA, WV, NC, PA and MD performing in bars, restaurants and finer music venues. Any time these "cultural icons on the rise" perform, it is a must see event!
"Tending to upset the mind and the balance of senses, Acoustic Destruction can be intoxicating and stupefying. However, the music remains tightly constructed, and the songwriting smart, and it burns and soothes going down much like a straight shot of whiskey, which happens to be the bands favorite poison." -The Breeze, Harrisonburg, VA
