Award-Winning YouTube Favorite Eric Herman Comes to Boise This July

Award-winning family musician and YouTube favorite, Eric Herman will bring a family rock 'n' roll show to Boise at 7:00 p.m. on Tuesday, July 12 at Playhouse Boise, 8001 W. Fairview Ave., Boise, ID.

An Eric Herman show is a rock 'n' roll family concert experience like no other. Imagine the enthusiasm and energy of Jack Black, the comic delivery of Weird Al, the musical chops of Sting, and the crazy charm of your cool Uncle Bob, and combine that with instantly engaging songs about monsters, dancing animals, and arguing pirates, and you've got yourself an incredible time. Bursting with comedy, creativity, and audience participation, Eric Herman's all-ages show has been described as "hands-down wonderful, one-of-a-kind entertainment" (Michelle Hankes, event coordinator, Everett, WA).

For this show, Eric Herman will perform with Puppy Dog Dave, the guitarist and backing vocalist for Eric's full band. Eric and Dave make for a dynamic duo, playing off each other with great humor and harmony,

Eric Herman's concerts also feature his daughters, Becca (13) and Evee (11) -- whom Eric claims are increasing stealing his show -- doing a hilarious introduction (mostly making fun of their dad), performing comical and sweet costumed theatrics during "Steve the Superhero," "Blackbeard, Bluebeard and Redbeard," and "The Tale of the Sun and the Moon," and singing, dancing, and joking along in adorably entertaining fashion.

Performance highlights include a "So You Think You Can Dance Really Badly" dance contest during "Ants in Your Pants," with CD prizes as judged and awarded by Becca and Evee; Eric and Dave doing impressions of Yoda, Batman, Mickey Mouse, and other geeky celebrities during an audience favorite, "Take a Bath"; a very unique drum solo by Dave; and energetic songs where everyone, old and young, moves along, or at least tries to ("Dance Like and Animal," "You Are What You Eat," "What a Ride"). Eric is sure to include a solo rendition of his big YouTube hit, "The Elephant Song," which continues to be a tremendous crowd-pleaser and showcases his baffling lack of animal knowledge. (You'd think he'd have learned by now!)

A hit with families nationwide, Eric Herman's warm and witty music videos have received over 50 million views on YouTube; his body of work includes seven award-winning albums plus an award-winning DVD. Bubble Wrap, a hard poppin' new family music album by Eric Herman and the Thunder Puppies, is Eric's eighth album and his first album backed by the full compliment of his band.

Says Eric Herman, "This will be my first show in Boise in many years, and the first time ever with Puppy Dog Dave and my girls. We're really excited to have a blast with Boise families, with some new songs, some old songs, and some elephant songs!"

Bubble Wrap is set for release on June 10 and will be available on iTunes, CDBaby, Amazon, and Eric Herman's website HERE.
