Herky Cutler

"I saw the soul of the man as he performed in front of friends, family and people off the street. He had us laugh often, brought us to tears (3 times) as he told us stories about his family, aboriginal people he had met, at risk youth he had worked with, and much more. I love how he plays his guitar and harmonica but mostly it was about his story telling and a glimpse into his soul as he performed his own material. A remarkable experience." - Mike Bradford

"Herky Cutler played at Gravity last Friday night. His set was very high energy and professional. A one man band with a full band sound. He played some originals and some old rock favorites. All the guests expressed how happy they were to be there! Could recommend his show for any family friendly venue or bar. He has stories to go with his songs and just an all around fun and engaging show! Look forward to seeing him again soon." - Dakota - Gravity Espresso & Wine Bar, Calgary, AB

He played songs like The Weight by The Band and Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison with amazing energy and enthusiasm.

This technique fills the lounge with excited guests who are overjoyed to have the opportunity to hear him play." - Andy - GM, Fionn MacCool’s Cross Iron Mills

“Thanks so much for performing at my backyard birthday party. You were awesome! It still amazes me how one man puts out such a full sound…its like having a small band without taking up all the space. In
addition, you seem to have perfected the ability to read your audience, from playing as background music to getting full participation creating an impromptu band. Everyone, even our neighbours who sat in the park behind our place, was entertained. Many asked me to pass on how impressed they were with your talent.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!”

Herky, from the start, adds to the room, or in this case the backyard. From set up to clean up the energy is there. When the music starts I cannot help but tap my toes.
