52 Songs in 52 Weeks at http://www.reachwithme.com/52songs.html
October 30, 2009 to December 24, 2009
52 songs in 52 weeks from January 1 to December 24, 2009. I'm going to attempt to write a new song (or tackle old unfinished songs) at a pace of one per week.

The Seeking & Finding of Good Reasons to be Making Music
by Peg Furshong
For over thirty years acclaimed writer, singer and guitarist James Hersch has been quietly building a repertoire of work that puts him squarely on the edge of acoustic music's importance in North American culture.
James has a rare mixture of straight forward musical talent, humor and sensitivity that allows him to create songs that speak to what is common in all of us. James is one of those few performers who allow his listener to experience his music through intimate images which confront and celebrate today's human condition.
James, a native Minnesotan, has eleven album credits to his name and has become known for his story song releases "BackTracks" and "Innerweather" (strictly acoustic, just James, his voice and his guitar). Hersch has been nominated National NACA Coffeehouse Entertainer of the Year several times and has been a finalist at the international Kerrville Folk Festival. He is a 'Telly' award winner for his original soundtrack for the 2009 PBS documentary, "Paving the Way: The National Park to Park Highway".
Although James has a Bachelor of Arts degree in classical guitar, his songwriting and performing styles are eclectic and broadly appealing. While Hersch performs as a solo acoustic artist, his music has taken on a life of it's own, deeply planted in the minds of the thousands who hear him each year.
James' residencies have become a useful outreach program among colleges and communities. His reachwithme program has been honored with the Harry Chapin Award for Contributions to Humanity by the National Association for Campus Activities. Possessing a troubador's heart, James is asked to talk and sing about music's power to gather and connect.
