Ramiro “Ram” Herrera is a smooth-voiced, award-winning
Tejano singer and songwriter, who is not only a staple on the Texas music
scene, but is considered one of its legends. He has been honored with a Tejano
Music Award as Male Entertainer of the Year twice and Male Vocalist of the Year
as well as a Lifetime Achievement Award from The Tejano Music Association. Ram
began his professional career with David Lee Garza y Los Musicales in
1980. The following year, he left and started his own band, Ramiro Herrera
y Montana, and recorded two albums. Impressive regional airplay and a
compelling live show resulted in Ram signing to Sony. His solo
debut,
Most Wanted Man, was not only his first in English, it went
gold and remains a classic in the Tejano canon. His third solo album, 1989’s
The
Outlaw,
followed suit and his band was renamed the Outlaws. For
the next 15 years, Ram continued to record and shared the stage with
a wide range of performers, including Doug Sahm, Freddy Fender
and Selena, who opened for him in one of her early shows. Ram’s recordings
and performances include everything from cumbias, rancheras and power ballads
to salsa, Latin, and roots rock ‘n’ roll. His 2010 album,
Ungrateful,
was nominated for a Latin Grammy. Ram is involved in a vast number of
charitable organizations and won a humanitarian award for his involvement,
which was presented to him by the late Texas Governor Ann Richards. His most
recent album,
Mucho Mas Que Amor, was released in 2015.
