Wally Hersom


Main image

Highly prized Bass fiddleman Wally Hersom, known to many as an original member of Big Sandy's band, joined up with the Lucky Stars outfit several years back, bringing his well-honed style and expertise to the band's rhythm section. His driving talent (on top of the beat as well as behind the wheel) assures that the band is always in and on time. This lanky, bespectacled California native, a one-time state arm wrestling champion, helps to pad the band's treasury (raise band funds) by separating unsuspecting bikers from their cash in impromptu high-stake barroom bouts. Wally's legendary status and low-profile antics make him a popular favorite with the young folks who can often be heard chanting his name between songs at the band's many live performances.
