Hersteria is an all-female Def Leppard tribute band that is based in the Chicagoland area. As they are currently navigating the turbulent waters of the Chicago area music scene, we hear about some of the hurdles that they face as they reach for success. And speaking of success, the band defines what that looks like for them and where the ultimate goal lies. The ladies talk about life outside of music, what it’s like being a female on the scene, and what the advantages or disadvantages might be to going out as a tribute act.
Whether you are someone playing music in your local scene or someone who loves to go out and see your local artists, this one is a must-see.

Hello everyone! My name is Scott Itter, but some know me as Dr. Music. I am a music journalist and photographer out of the Chicagoland area, and I have been in practice for over 20 years. I grew up in the 70’s with two big brothers that showed me all kinds of rock and roll. As I grew older I ventured out into different genres like jazz, funk, folk, and whatever else I could wrap my ears around. As I read every liner note and every Circus and Hit Parader like they were the Old and New Testament, I came to realize that I just love sound and appreciate all the people that create it.
I later became a stay-at-home dad and started honing my writing and photography skills to keep my mind from turning into mashed peas. My kids are now adults, my mind is only slightly mushy, and I am thrilled to have the honor of presenting my work to you!
