“Gilmartin and Potter(David Byrne, Pete Seeger) brought the house down with positive energy, lots of laughs and soothing insightful sounds. I caught them at a recent Sidewalk Café show as they sang their soulful, original songs to the downtown New York City audience." - Eric K. Williams, Award-winning journalist, WBAI-FM Radio
Joey Reynolds, Rock'nRoll Hall of Famer WOR Radio, New York City
"Your performance a very special treat!"
