Straight from the finals of America’s Got Talent and the national broadcast of the Joni Mitchell Songbook from the Kennedy Center, singer Jimmie Herrod’s singular vocal power soars in his first New York/NJ area solo show of 2023. With a uniquely high voice that’s been compared to the legendary Jimmy Scott, Herrod’s covers of contemporary Pop and R&B and his original songwriting – including selections from his just-released EP, “Elated” – will bowl you over with expressive talent. Herrod will return to national television as a guest on America’s Got Talent All Stars, starting January 20, 2023, again on NBC.

Jimmie Herrod is a Pacific Northwest-based artist and performer who currently resides in Portland, Oregon. He holds a Bachelors of Music degree in music composition and performance from Cornish, and a Masters of Music in Jazz Studies from Portland State University, where he subsequently taught Jazz voice. Jimmie has worked in Seattle’s lauded Musical Theater scene at ArtsWest and the 5th Avenue Theater. Recent performance highlights include being a featured soloist with the Oregon Symphony’s showcase in the 2018 TedX series, working with international acts such as ODESZA, and being a Golden Buzzer recipient for the 2021 season of America’s Got Talent. Jimmie is also a regular guest vocalist with Pink Martini, touring throughout the U.S., Canada, and Europe. In 2018, Jimmie recorded “Exodus,” his first single with Pink Martini, as well as the solo album of original works, Falling in Love and Learning to Love Myself.
