Founded in 2008, Hillbilly Herald is an American rock and roll band formed in Los Angeles, California. The band has toured North America several times, including opening for Slash, and is known for its rowdy, raucous live shows. Lead singer Jimmy Herald formed Hillbilly Herald on the advice of Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash, who told Herald he should form a band. Shortly after moving to Los Angeles in 2008, Herald began making music with guitarist Mark Hill, a former co-worker at a car wash in Austin, Texas. They recorded their first demo together, and Adam Wolf was hired as bassist shortly thereafter.
