Blending folk, rock, and country into a sound that’s entirely his own, Hernly delivers songs that hit hard and stick with you. Whether it’s stripped-down and intimate or full of energy, his live show pulls you in and doesn’t let go.
Now emerging as one of the most compelling independent artists in the region, Hernly blends folk, rock, and country into something uniquely his own—raw, dynamic, and impossible to pin down.

Scott Parkhurst 
Best known as the frontman of The Snakehandlers, Parkhurst built his reputation in the Midwest playing a raw blend of blues, rock, and Americana that feels equal parts roadhouse and revival. As a vocalist, harmonica player, and slide guitarist, his sound pulls from deep roots—artists like Muddy Waters, The Band, and the Rolling Stones—while still feeling unmistakably his own.  
Now stepping into a more stripped-down, solo setting, those same songs hit even harder. There’s nowhere to hide—and that’s exactly the point. It’s honest, powerful, and built for a room where people are there to really listen.
