Mike Herz in Concert at Dedham Square Coffeehouse Saturday April 2nd 2016 8:30 - 10:30 PM. Free live music, beer and wine.

Raised in rural Northwest, New Jersey, Mike grew up amongst fertile farmlands and majestic mountains. So, naturally, as a teenager his music of choice was rap. Why you ask? The words. There was poetry and passion there, and it resonated. Some years later Mike discovered the songs of Bob Dylan, and after listening to those words his heart clinically stopped for 3 minutes. While dead he saw a heavenly blinding light and returned to Earth with the understanding that simply a guitar and words could alter the universe. Folk music hit home. So words were written, chords were learned and songs were born. Songs sung in a deep voice that rattles around in your head long after the music ends. Songs that make you think but don't trip you up and leave you realizing something you already knew.

"I love your CD, man. Really love it. No B.S. I listen to a lot of independent CDs and yours really surprised me with its point-of-view, the fresh honest lyrics. The remarkable turn-of-phrase <<<one right after another. Those are important songs." - Don Lowe of NY's Towne Crier
