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.
Dear Charlie, I forgot

your music, especially
SILK ROSES and MERRY
CHRISTMAS MAMA. I would
