Lois Bliss Herbine is a solo piccolo artist on Crystal Records. All six accompanied recordings from her CD, Take Wing, including premieres of Daugherty, Persichetti, and Dorff, have been broadcast on radio stations across the United States. Flute Talk and Flute Network reviews describe her piccolo as "enchanting", "mesmorizing", and "vivid". The Gramophone hails her recital as "high-flying" and "beguiling" and Music Web International exclaims, "Another leading wind soloist takes flight".

In 2000 Herbine was invited to give a solo performance on the flute and piccolo for the Republican Governors' Association at the Republican National Convention. Since then she has performed multiple times at National Flute Association conventions to favorable press. As a commercial orchestral artist, Herbine has served as principal flute for Peter Nero's Philly Pops and the Mann Festival orchestra, and performed in soundtracks for television and radio specials, theme music and commercials.

Most recently, she was a backup artist for SONY artists John Legend and Il Divo.
