WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT BIG LION:
“It's silk butter, thunder and beat confetti wrapped without bows and thrown at your doorstep waiting to be picked up, split open, dressed down, spread on, and savored.“
-Paul Terry, Wompus Music
"Big Lion's music is engaging, earnest, and delivered straight from the heart. They are without question a band to keep an eye on."
-Will Holland, Chillhouse Studios
"Marc di Giacomo... has strong skills as a songwriter and guitarist, giving his simple folk melodies, emotive voice and lyrical skills an opportunity to shine... sonically he's more in the realm of Nick Drake, Cat Stevens and Colin Meloy (of Decemberists fame)."
-Michael Fiegal, Online Rock
"These talented musicians have places to roam, with an unusual depth and dynamic."
-Lisa Meyer, Buzzwerks
