Ric Herbert Biography

Ric Herbert, aka "The Voice", is the kind of performer you know and love, long before you've even met him. Chances are, you've heard his voice, even if you're yet to put a face to it. 

Besides being a highly sought after voice over artist and session singer, Ric's professional performance career has seen him front various original bands, plus "IOU" (a hi-octane OZ Rock covers band) and "In the Mood", a slick corporate functions band.

As the 'voice of a nation', Ric Herbert has enjoyed the special honour of performing “Share the Spirit” live at the opening ceremony of the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games and the Commonwealth Games anthem “Up there with the Heroes”. 

With a voice for radio, and the god given 'front' for facing the music in performance, Ric took a burgeoning collection of his own intimate material out on Sydney's Acoustic Circuit in 2005. His classic writing style, engaging performance ability, and impromptu banter made him a hit with live audiences. The sheer energy and surprise segues in his very live performances, mean his audiences are invariably treated to a 'magic carpet ride', never knowing exactly where they'll land.

Ric's growing reputation landed him a long running weekly residency on Wednesday nights from 8pm at the Monkey Bar – Balmain, playing a tasteful mix of covers and his own material. Joined by an ever evolving parade of talented guests, "Get RicH" is the seamless combination of his artistic skill, and professional ability to 'deliver' night after night. 

A pleasure to watch and a joy to hear, Ric Herbert is the kind of talent you yearn to be surprised by. His latest recorded project "EPONYMOUS" is available through this website, and at gigs. Record labels of the major and minor persuasion are cordially invited to get serious about getting RicH, since they would know that there are more sinful things to invest in than talent of this kind.

Currently seeking to "KEEP MUSIC LIVE"  in the Sydney scene, Ric is about to head into the studio to lay down some fresh tracks, and will always "face” the music – sound as ever.

So friend, never mind the jive (or the bollocks)... Get RicH - NOW!
