Hi! My name is Charlie Herron, my mission is to minister Gods word through music. Bio Born in Roswell, New Mexico, January 22nd, 1950. Martha and Gabe Herron were the perfect parents for an artist, as they let him explore his talent. Charlie was one of nine children and has two brothers and six sisters. Charlie grew up on a farm outside of Roswell, New Mexico. His first experience with a guitar (when he was 5 years old) was when a drifter moved in with the Herron's to work on their farm. The drifter kept his guitar on the top of the kitchen cabinets, (which he thought was out of Charlie's reach). Well, to his surprise, Charlie's Mom used to let Charlie climb the cabinets to get to the old Flat Top. His mom used to sing songs while he strumed away on this old guitar. Well , that started the revolution of Charlie Herrons' music career. When the Herron family moved to town after their house burned down, Charlie's Mom bought him his first Electric Guitar from Woolsworth five and dime store. At that time, he was 12 years old. Then the Beatles revolution took place. The Beatles made their debut on the music world. All else is history! Every red blooded American Boy had to start a band. And Charlie did this with splendor. The Pepermint Sins were born: (Darryl Allen, Lead Guitar and Vocals; Charlie Herron, Rythem Guitar and Lead Vocal;, Warren Odom, Bass Guitar and Vocals; Del Carmona, Keyboards; Dwayne McClain, Drums; Bruce Harris, Pscycodelic Lighting Technician "Deluxe"). Charlie has been playing music professionally since age 13. Over the years Charlie has preformed everything from Country to Old Time Rock. His first gig was playing for a little Baptist Church in Roswell , New Mexico.and Friday and Saturday nights at the local Y. He and his band "The Pepermint Sins" went on from there to open and play for several groups including "The Guess Who", " The Turtles", "The Grass Roots", " Ike and Tina Turner", "The Music Machine", " Jan and Dean", "The People", "Frigid Pink", "Jimmy Gilmer and the Fireballs", " The Frantics", "Baby", and many many more"! He went from a rock band to a "One Man Country Show" playing as the house band in several Night Clubs in Odessa, Texas and other cities, He married Diane Langrehr Braun in 1987 and went on to write and record "Silk Roses" (which he wrote for Diane), and "Merry Christmas Mama" which he wrote for his Mother, Martha Herron. After doing the motel circuits for a number of years, Charlie finally decided that his talents should be directed to the Lord, which was God's intention in the first place. He then wrote "The Canyon" for the Lord. Charlie is now the Music Minister for Midessa Heights Baptist Church in Odessa, Texas. Charlie still writes and records his own music with emphasis on Gospel/Praise and Worship with his special Country Flare..UPDATE: Charlie is now taking his Ministry on the road to try to reach more people with his testimony.
