"Mac revives the buoyant spirit of alternative pop/rock in a fashion similar to
artists like Tal Bachman and Duncan Sheik. Crisp arrangements, breezy ivory
tickling, and compelling sentiment combine, subverting commercial jingle-jangle
with a dash of personality."
-Shut Eye Records (Atlanta)
"With luscious, delectable harmonies, Mac's acoustic based pop is very pleasant
and beautifully easy on the ears."
-The Buffalo News
"Andy Mac writes intelligent, well-crafted arrangements that eventually will be
recognized by the masses."
-OutofStep
"Andy Mac has picked up his guitar and perfected the sensitive-boy-sings-his-
heart-out-thing."
-Artvoice Magazine (Buffalo)
"Andy Mac is an artist you’ll want to listen to. It takes a true gift to create such sleek musical synthesis. He's a virtuoso in the art of putting all the right musical pieces, in all the right places. In their career, every songwriter wishes to attain such melodic appeal that Mac has so easily achieved. Originality, even within his own musical niche is perhaps what makes him so great. Each song has a new stylistic addition or change that makes each track interesting, building Mac’s repertoire into a single morphing entity rather than a list of formulated tracks. There are thousands of songwriters that can concoct memorable hooks and chorus lines and while Mac achieves this, he also goes beyond, making the entire song enjoyable: the verses are just as pleasing as the choruses. There is no doubt that with proper exposure and persistence Mac will achieve a earned level of success."
-Provayo
"Andy Mac’s debut solo album, Music for a Bright Moon Sky, shows influences from both experiences with lush harmonies, clever arrangements, and witty lyrics. Calling Mac a multi-talented artist would be an understatement."
-Rebel Spirit Music
