"I see a lot of performers and Eric Herman's show is hands-down wonderful, one-of-a-kind children's entertainment. His approach is professional, educational and just plain fun!" - Michelle Hankes, Cultural Arts Advisor, Everett WA
"Monkey Business is one of the best kids records ever! Herman has a tremendous sense of humor. Boy, were my kids impressed. If you have kids my age (42) or younger, you'll want this CD now!" - Tom Peterson, Victory Music
"Inspired, clever and nicely-produced rock tunes that will at once have you dancing in the streets and bent over laughing with milk squirting out your nose." - John Wood, Kidzmusic.com
"We have seen Eric Herman in concert twice at our library and he is so great.
Really fun, silly and entertaining." - AlisonCO, Colorado Springs CO
"We are so lucky to have had Eric at our library. What an awesome performance! We would love to have him back again." - Carol Fick, Woodinville Library, Woodinville WA
"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 - 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
"This show was AMAZING!!!!
Eric Herman is one of the most talented entertainers I have ever seen."
- Nikole Kepins, YMCA, Shandon CA

assemblies they had ever seen!!"
- Dr. Karen Brock, PTA President Lincoln Elementary, Mt. Vernon WA
"Fantastic! Very entertaining for all ages, including adults." - Tricia Lindsey, Children's Specialist, Fountain Library, Colorado Springs CO
