Hello Dave, thanks for taking the time to chat with us. What was your inspiration in writing this new song?
I was inspired to write Hell of a Holiday after being on LOCKDOWN for the 2020 HOLIDAY SEASON. Cory Coppin and I had a blast writing “Hell of a Holiday” and the song was recorded at Blackbird Studios in Nashville which has an amazing selection of microphones (a must use if you get a chance).
What is this Holiday song about?
This Hell of a Holiday song is all about ANY holiday and having the best possible Holiday you can with what you have to work with. Make your own traditions, or keep the same ole’ tradition, do what makes you happy, Just enjoy, kick back and have one Hell of a Holiday!!!. The single is now available on all streaming services here.
Herrera explains, “there are many times when you approach a holiday season and it just does not have that feeling like I used to have when I was a kid, I think it’s important to do what I can to have the best holidays while celebrating Old and New traditions creating new memories and remembering all the good old times with family and friends”
What is Cali-Country music?
Herrera continues to put his own spin on Cali-Country music as he combines live drums, 808 beats, electric guitars, various instruments, and the storytelling of his own real-life experiences packaged up in lyrics of country music.
I really liked watching your music videos, tell me more?
I really take pride in working with Shaun Lupton to create out of the box music videos that are entertaining for all ages (well I think they are, and you may not he says sarcastically). The music video for “Visiting Nashville” now has 480K+ views and rising. You can check out several of my music videos on YouTube which include Hella Country, Hollywood Sign, My First 69, and an unofficial and unmixed version of the video for the NEW “Hell of a Holiday” song.
Herrera is currently in the studio and will embark on a radio tour and live shows in 2022.
