Musician, hunter, and agriculturist are just a few of the facets of Jimmy Herman. Jimmy grew up on a dairy farm in Wisconsin, began playing fiddle at age four, and was playing in bands by the time he was seven. Touring with Carrie Underwood since 2008, Jimmy has performed on the Grammys, ACM and CMA Awards; on Jimmy Fallon, Jay Leno, Good Morning America, Ellen, American Idol, and Saturday Night Live; as well as on stage with Steven Tyler, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley and more.
Jimmy has been featured in several publications not only for music but also his passion for hunting. From hunting whitetails in Wisconsin at age twelve to bowhunting to feed his family now, Jimmy sees hunting as a way of life. He has been training as a hunter consistently for over fourteen years and has taken numerous impressive North American Big Game animals across the country. He even became a certified taxidermist through the American Institute of Taxidermy, winning several awards for his high quality and detailed taxidermy work. A busy and creative life on tour combined with the solitude of the outdoors helps to keep Jimmy balanced.
