Pick: Theocles

Solo and soulful: The one-man band Theocles is the project of local singer-songwriter Theo Herrin, who left a job at the Mayo Clinic in 2020 to work as a full-time musician and teaching artist at The Front Porch. Equipped with just a mic, guitar, and loop pedal, Herrin’s live shows feature soulful pop covers, from ballads to bangers, as well as a selection of original tunes—including “Suburbia,” a catchy commentary on social justice issues.
