That 1 Guy

When That 1 Guy is in town, his grooves are so bombastic they rattle china cabinets and dissolve kidney stones well into the next zip code.
Judah Gold, Relix Magazine

Like a one-man band plucked from the pages of Dr. Seuss, That 1 Guy delivers earthshaking future funk from the magic pipe to accompany his madcap lyrics about turbo snails, meat storms, and weasel pot pies."
J.G., Bass Player Magazine

Necessity is the mother of invention. But in the case of Mike Silverman's slamming, futuristic funk act, That 1 Guy, the normal rules of biology just don't apply.
Andrew Gilbert, Billboard/Express

It's Home Depot meets Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.
Isamu Jordan, The Spokesman

That 1 Guy has more funk in his two or three fingers than most people have in their entire refrigerator.
Nils Frykdahl, Sleepytime Gorilla Museum

That 1 Guy is one of the most prolific and insanely genius musicians we've met in quite some time. With a rap sheet a mile long, and a reputation for turning out live shows where ever he plays, this virtuoso is a class act all the way.
M.S., California Best Bet

This must be how people felt the first time they saw Ziggy Stardust. That 1 Guy is truly, honestly unique, and simply mesmerizing.
Sarah Henning, Ripsaw

That 1 Guy is a musical guerrilla by every definition and no traditional Rock critic yardstick can be applied to what he's doing.
BB, Cincinatti Cittybeat
