Scots Americana songwriter formerly and occasionally of Alt. Bluegrassers The Coal Porters - now working as a solo act and fronting The Dirty Little Acoustic Band
Neil Bob Herd might be familiar as a songwriter and guitarist in UK Alt.Bluegrassers The Coal Porters going on to release his well-received debut solo album Every Soul a Story in 2020 “Scots Nick Lowe” (Americana UK) “Sharp as a Tack” (Uncut). His follow up “5 Reel Feature” EP came out April 2024 and a brand new LP waxing “The Wireless Set” is slated for release in Spring 2026.
Neil’s songs and engaging stage persona feature wit, twang and poetic dexterity, from wry humour to emotional sucker punch and rich with judicious use of the tremolo pedal.
