Herb's Story

Dear Friends, I had a friend ask me to write what i have done the last 25 years of career so this is a very rough draft of what i have been doing. I went to Bonners Ferry High school till my Sophmore year then family moved to Southern Oregon. After I graduated from Eagle Point I went to the University of Oregon studying voice for 2 years. During that time I took an interest in dance and was studying modern, ballet and Jazz dance. To make this long story short I decided to go on exchange at UNLV in Las Vegas for my Junior year. That was the year my father died August 21, l981. Things took a big spin in my life. I wound up dropping out of college and auditioning for the Folies Bergere at the Tropicana Hotel which I surprisingly got. Actually my mom told me (right your just going to walk in there and say here I am and get your first audition). Funny enough that is exactly what happened!!! Actually I had the job at the Folies before my dad passed away. So now I am starting my career in show business. I was in that show till April of 1982. I auditioned for a show in europe. I really don't know why. I just did it. Sounds like a Nike commercial doesn't it. Madrid, Spain was my introduction to European lifestyle. The show was called New York, New York. It was a nice show and that year I was Mr. Madrid believe it or not. That was a kick and a half. I don't know why I won but for some reason the Spanish people liked me or it was a rigged contest??? My producer Bill Lloyd still has the trophy. It was like winning a beauty pageant. I still laugh about that time in my life. After living in Madrid for a year i went to Portugal where I opened another show at the Casino Estoril which is near Lisbon. I was also modeling at that time and a few television spots. It is really hard talking about myself but I'm doing this especially for you all and for curiosities sake.... I was doing the show in Portugal for 6 months. After I went to do fashion shows all over Germany for about 4 months. At the end of this German tour I came back to the states for one year to recollect my mind and see what I wanted to do. Thanks to my Mom and Family they all played a big part in helping me at this time. I decided to get back into show business so I auditioned for City Lights in Las Vegas...Expand for more
where I had to learn how to ice skate over again. (I did skate on a few frozen ponds-Millers Pond to name one-in Bonners but didnt ever learn to do figure 8's or spinning..lol.) I worked in the show for one year and enjoyed the experience but was fed up with my situation and wanted to get back to a european lifestyle and career. Funny enough the producer that I had worked for in Spain and Portugal called me to see if I wanted to do television work in Italy. I accepted immediately so off to Italy. It was for the GB show which stands for the Gino Bramieri show. (He was a very well known comedian in Italy), kind of like the Jerry Lewis of Italy or something like that. After this I came back and tried to live in Los Angeles for a few months but I could not stand it. To much plastic and games so I was offered a job to go to Athens, Greece for the summer of 85. We where dancing in a very elite club called the Nerida which was right on the ocean side. Mary Nella was the headliner singer that we where playing with and it was really a dream to work with her. She is one of the most popular folk greek singers of that time (and still is). To compare her possibly like the Barbara Streisand of Greece. She was singing for the closing games of the Olympics in Athens. Now to get back to my story. During and after that show in 85 I was modeling still and was on the front page of Nike magazine thanks to my experience of hurdling in high school. I decided to stay in Greece for awhile while I was modeling quite a bit and being somewhat successful in that scene of photos and commercials. Soon I was offered to go back to Italy to work with Gino Bramieri again to do a Musical in Italy. I also worked on a show called Festival for television with Pipo Baudo, Laurella Cucarinni and Brigitte Nielson (1987). I have to make this bio shorter. After my work in Italy I was offered the leading role in the Moulin Rouge as a principal singer and soloist. Then I was the Lead in Berlin, Germany at the FriedrichstadtPalast 1996-97. Making bio shorter- I was the lead singer of the group Bad Boys Blue and touring Russia, Romania, Bulgaria, mainly eastern block countries and Germany from 2004-08. It looks like im in Pop music and presently working on my solo project and living in Cologne, Germany.
