With “a voice like a beacon of hope” (Seattle Times), vocalist Jimmie Herrod brings singular power and expressivity to his global career as a singer, songwriter, and entertainer on stage and screen. The Portland-based performer has earned fame on television (Howie Mandel hailing Herrod as “the best male vocalist in the history of America’s Got Talent”) and as a vocalist with Pink Martini. Traversing many musical styles and genres in many languages, including jazz, pop, funk, and his own original songs, Jimmie Herrod is thrilled to make his Victoria Symphony debut.
