“It is really only a matter of time you become part of a long line of great American musicians” -- Antonia, Artist

“I love your music. Tonight in Minnesota, the sky is dark but there is a huge moon shining down on the ground. It feels like navigating shadows by the moonlight. That’s what it feels like to me, listening to your music.” -- Andy, Minnesota

“Very good music indeed… kinda made me horny.” –- Sylvan Borg, Musician

“Your songs are so beautiful like a blue-black moonlit sea.” -- Aaron Cahill, Musician

“… lush, melancholy and utterly gorgeous.” -- Jan Prior, Musician
