Deni Herrmann
is a 40+ year Entertainment Industry Professional, specifically as a Talent Agent, Buyer, Promoter, Artist Manager and Casino Entertainment Manager. A musician, since early life starting piano at 8, guitar at 12 and performing with harmonica “in the rack” in his teens. Performing in his first professional band in the mid 70’s, he followed that becoming a talent agent in the 80’s working both in Portland and Seattle and a central figure in both of those music communities. A brief stint in a country band in the mid nineties that toured the middle east performing for the U.S. Armed Forces, he opened his own company, DH Events and Entertainment in 2007. In 2017 on a bit of a whim he attended a job fair for the brand new Native American Casino in Ridgefield, WA, Ilani Resort where he was quickly offered the job as Entertainment Manager. Retiring from the Casino in 2022 he returned to his passion of performing live and within a short period of time was accepting offers to perform at wineries, hotels, brew pubs and casinos. He formed the Deni Herrmann Trio in 2023 and brought with him a playlist from the golden age of singer-songwriters and acoustic folk rock, the late 60’s through the 80’s. He refers to his repertoire as “ the music we grew up with”. Though he’s clearly talking about himself, his audience knows all the words and is grateful to once again hear the songs of their youth.,
Brian Jerome Idle
Performing as lead and backup vocalist and percussionist, Brian came to the Northwest hailing from one of the great midwest music meccas of the 70s and 80s, Minneapolis, MN. A prolific song writer in addition to his talents described above, Brian began performing professionally in his late teens. Coming to Portland, he became quickly engaged in the scene where his tenor range brought him recognition all along the way. Brian has been nominated for a Hollywood In Media award for his song Stylism. He also won the Indie Music People Golden Kayak Award for that same song. He has received three editor's choice awards for best performing artist from the publication The Salmon Creek Journal for his songs, Living The High Life, Sandy, and Light of Love
