    Welcome the official site of John Herdt. THE NEW ALBUM FROM JOHN HERDT & WALLY Z! Our new album titled Shadow Fades Away is currently available as CDs in full-color jackets from CD Baby or by download from iTunes and other online download sites. Two complete free sample tracks are available on The Rampant Zone. The album has 14 tracks, and is mostly instrumental except for three tracks with Wally Z on vocals with typically excellent lyrics by Lee Zielonka, including the rocking Rock Dust and the funky Mr. Marshall. We have a MySpace page at www.myspace.com/johnherdtwallyz. CURRENTLY PLAYING:. Rock Dust: From Shadow Fades Away by John Herdt and Wally Z, 2009.

Denver Shuffle: The great drummer Bobby Berge (Tommy Bolin, Buddy Miles, Billy Ryan) and I did this track for fun. I played the guitars and bass. ©2008 John Herdt. Wild Dogs Acoustic: In 2004 I was trying out a new Taylor guitar I had just bought, and I laid down the rhythm track and then grabbed my Ovation acoustic and overdubbed some slide and soloing. It was totally off the cuff but had kind of a cool vibe and was a different approach to this great Tommy Bolin song. Please check back periodically for updates. I am also known as a guitarist, musician, producer and mastering engineer. I have been the webmaster and a CD producer for the Tommy Bolin Archives since 2002, and have produced a number of CDs of my own material as well as mastering audio on projects for others. Above all else, rock on. Visit me, Bobby Berge and Sal Serio at The Rampant Zone.
