"a brilliant guitarist and a fine singer who is rapidly establishing a name for himself" FOLKWORKS

"The discovery of a new artist is a great delight, in particular one that creates such a positive impression as did this one on me. His guitar playing is bold,crisp and confident, but always totally within his control and suitably sensitive whatever the style or pace he has chosen to play...his performance as a singer is totally complimentary to his playing. Strong, positive, with confidence in his own abilities but never harsh or unmelodic."
