Herman Fermin has performed his own brand of alternative rock/pop music for the last twelve years and has survived the New York City rock scene and lived to tell about it. He has extensively toured these great United States playing at many universities, showcasing at the Cutting Edge Music Festival in Louisiana and opened for the Drovers’ record release party in Chicago. His radio friendly songs have garnered respectable mentions in the Billboard Songwriters contest, favorable airplay on college radio stations and landed him on several compilation cd's including "Street Dreams" which was recorded in the New York City subway system gaining major recognition from The New York Daily News. And, yes, it really does feel like hell down there in the summertime. But when Herman Fermin sings he winds up wearing his emotions on his sleeve whether he is playing to that one person left at the bar or to the waitresses who have been known to follow him to his next club date. > > But what really matters most is that the music gets heard.
