Is his name really Eric Herman or is it Eric Endres?
Yes. Actually, it’s Eric Herman Endres. Eric also performs and composes adult contemporary music in various styles, as well as orchestral music and stage musicals, and he wanted to make a distinction between the different genres, so that when you get an Eric Herman CD or book ‘Eric Herman’ for a show, you know the audience is kids and families and the material meant for kids. Not that there’s anything particularly “adult” about his other work, but the intended audience for that material is typically older. Also, “Eric Herman” is easier to remember, pronounce and spell correctly than “Eric Endres”.
