"The role of a musician, speaking for myself personally, is to create content that makes the world a better place. We all saw how important music was during the pandemic. We take it for granted, but it’s a powerful healing force for many people. I want my songs to connect with others - for my melodies and lyrics to resonate. That’s the best part of what I’m doing, and the most satisfying."

“Blues is universal! There will always be followers in Brazil, France, Mexico, xxx—wherever you go. Blues is an eternal, universal language. The very essence of blues keeps its followers by regenerating, rebuilding, reinventing itself, and continuing to capture the ears and souls of those who listen. The proof of this is that many musical genres come and go over time, but blues is the root of it all, and it…

"My hopes are that fresh music, and content still resonates vs filtered imaging that is not necessarily authentic. Physical aesthetics are fleeting, talent is the gas for the tank. I think people still want us to transport them."

"Music has a transformative power that goes beyond words. Throughout history, it has been a fundamental tool for challenging racial and socio-cultural divisions while building bridges where walls once stood. Blues, in particular, is a perfect example of this."

"First of all, I think that it's important that people realize and understand the struggles and hardships Black Americans were going through when this music was first created, and how it literally influenced all American music to follow. Also, it's important for musicians of my generation to educate the younger generations on this topic, and how important Blues is for our history."

"I think people are profoundly affected by music in positive ways for example music can absolutely change ones mood just simply hearing a song immediately can remind us and takes us back to when and where we were at physically and mentally when we first heard the song, that memory is with us forever that’s how I want music to affect us as a whole."

Dennis Herrera: Blues from Heart &…

"Music and literature connect others to the human experience. In my song, "Awake to Love,” I sing about how the world is led by fear and this causes war, destruction and evil. If we focus on love, we can find peace on this earth. When people hear my music, I want them to feel - their beauty, pain or complete joy. I want them to find the strength to walk their own path and to see that their life is art."…

"Well, besides the economics of it - music is my livelihood - I absolutely love playing music live, and I’m fortunate to be able to play the music I enjoy playing and make a living at it. For me, emotion is weighted more heavily than technique; virtuosic technique is always impressive, but an emotion expressed elegantly sticks with me and bears repeated listening."…

"Music is community. It’s a culture that we are all part of if we allow it. Blues is roots, (like many other genres), and it’s important to keep around because it’s a hell of a launch pad."
