Jimmie Herrod
Jimmie Herrod is a NW based musician living in Portland OR. Holding a bachelors in music from Cornish College of the Arts and a Masters in music from PSU, he’s had the fortune of taking his knowledge and putting it to use. In 2017 he performed on Jimmy Kimmel with electronic duo Odesza. Later that year he began touring with Oregon’s own Pink Martini, traveling with them around the world and recording an ep with them entitled “Tomorrow.” In 2021 that title song and arrangement of “Tomorrow” would be performed by Herrod on America’s Got Talent, landing him Sofía Vergara’s Golden Buzzer. He subsequently made it to the season finale and placed in the top 10. Following the competition he performed as one of the founding cast members of AGT LIVE in Las Vegas.
