Local Star Returns Home

It wasn’t quite like the stage at the Grammys but it’s home for Pleasantville native Jimmy Herman. Herman (inset, left) has toured the country, playing on various large stages — including the Grammys — as a part of Carrie Underwood’s band, but he returned home last week, playing with Chris Hennessee (inset, right) at the bandstand in downtown Whitehall as part of his Grass Roots Tour. It was his final  local performance before returning to Tennessee.  (Times photographs by Andrew Dannehy)
