biographical info
Barry Hertz is a singer-songwriter from Calgary who released his first CD, Sure Cure, in the fall of 2000. Two of his songs were chosen for inclusion on compilation disks, Creation's Dawn for the John Muir Tribute CD and Buffalo for the Stand Your Ground CD. His second CD, A Cowboy's Prayer, was released in February 2007. Both CD's are rich in the acoustic sounds of guitar, upright bass and fiddle.
Hertz began his musical career at an early age singing in the church choir and began writing songs in his teens when he first picked up a guitar. In the 1980's, he moved to northern Alberta to work as a beekeeper. The long winters were down time for the business and he soon found himself playing solo in the local hotels. It was not until the early 90's that he began writing in earnest.
Barry is currently working on a third CD due to be released sometime in 2011.
