Rick Garvin

"I have just received your CD "Evolution", through Radiodirectx. Glad it did as we really love your blend of roots, swing, country and folk. All married into a gumbo of just good down home fun, no pretensions just good time music. Gotta love the feel and the marriage of styles, this CD does it for us. The choice of material backed up with a band that swings rather than play sound like computers adds to every element of this CD. ... We love this CD so as to making a choice where to allocate to was extremely easy." Peter Merrett - PBS 106.7FM, Melbourne Australia - - - -"Evolution" is at once the title of the first solo album by singer/songwriter Rick Garvin and an apt description of the changes in his sound as he has moved from region to region and band to band. In 2008, Garvin's music shifts easily - and ear-pleasingly- from folk to swing to reggae to ska. A highly recommended debut. - Mark Rheaume - CBC Radio Canada - - - -"What a great sound you have, we have played several of your tracks to date and plan to schedule more in future programs. Keep up the good work and please keep us up to date with your progress." - Michael Criddle , OzRadio (Radio Triple H-FM) Australia - - - -"Hi Rick, Greetings from Skopje, Macedonia! Enclosed is one of my recent radio playlists which include your excellent material. I am interested to present more from you when possible! Best regards, " - Vasja Ivanovski, Mojo Alt Fridays , 94.1 FM Radio 2 Skopje, Macedonia - - - -"Great work on this disc full of wonderful songs and music. It's one to be proud of. " - George Young , country club productions pty Australia - - - -"Many Sincere Thanks for the CD" Evolution " that you sent us recently. We have enjoyed it immensly, and have added tracks from it to our playlists. Your presentation of music, inside the style and personality reflected in the tracks is very refreshing. Keep it up." - Graham J Barclay , Soundwave FM- New Zealand
