   They are award-winning, and dancing on a multi-genre musical radar. And now,   
   after the trendsetting self-made album, New Dance, Herrick is back with   
   another ballsy opus.   
      
   Cottonfields was produced by Herrick and veteran producer David Walker.   
   Vocalist Donna Herrick, along with husband and bass player, Kerry Herrick,   
   guitarist Jefferson Rogers, and drummer Jeff Bradshaw, began writing for the   
   album in early 2014. The    
   result is an collection that offers a panoramic sonic experience, with a   
   variety of themes, all wrapped in characteristic Herrick musicianship,   
   showcasing Donna's power vocals with driving harmonies.   
      
   It is a kind of roots/rock Americana music that borders on folk   
   literature.   
      
   Themes of empowerment, freedom, spirituality, the importance of preserving   
   traditions and cultures are woven throughout Cottonfields. The title track is   
   authentic American music. It is an intricate mix of primitive music that was   
   brought here by    
   immigrants, wanderers and slaves and was blended into a joyful language that   
   changed the way the world thinks about music. Like others before them, Herrick   
   explores a variety of musical influences and adds that distinctive Herrick   
   touch.   
      
   "The uniqueness of this project comes not from one or multiple sources or   
   backgrounds, rather, a comradery and respect in combining each of our roots,   
   love of music, accompanied with a combination of a well rooted-progressive   
   style that we, as a band,    
   can call our own," says Kerry.   
      
   Herrick has become known for the band's high energy live performances.   
   Herrick, winner of an IMA (Independent Music Award), is one of busiest touring   
   acts on the road, and all of that mileage and direct fan contact has provided   
   an excellent education for    
   the band in what people love and want to hear.   
      
   "I think what people love about us is the energy we generate playing together   
   and feeding off each other," says singer/songwriter Donna Herrick. "There's a   
   lot of drive in our band, and we managed to capture that on this record. We   
   love the music that we    
   cut our teeth on and it'll always be part of us, but we've reached the point   
   where we're consciously trying to push things forward."   
      
   Killer pipes and mold shattering songwriting come together in an album that   
   transcends genre. The new album defines no-holds-barred by combining the very   
   roots of American music with an openly rockin' and revolutionary flavor.   
      
   "It's roots music, a powerful type of folk literature. Woven into the songs   
   are themes of empowerment, freedom, spirituality, the importance of preserving   
   traditions and cultures," explains Donna.   
      
   Cottonfields represents a rite of passage for a band that is knocking on the   
   door of greatness.   
      
   Cottonfields is available April 15. Pre-Orders are now available through   
   iTunes and Amazon   
      
   The group, which was founded in Spokane WA. They will celebrate the release of   
   Cottonfields with a performance on home turf.
