"Vash is one of the most versatile percussionists I've ever heard. His creativity extends beyond the bodhran to a vast array of rhythmic instruments, and he's the best ladle player I've ever seen!"
-Kevin King,
Bodhran Instructor, Irish Cultural Center - Phoenix, AZ
Dangerous with about anything that can be held, Vash can always be found in the pocket and is a trusted brother on stage. Vash builds confidence in all fellows lucky enough to stand next to him.

"Vash is one of the better bodhran players anywhere. He's creative, and willing to experiment in the form. He's one of a very few to whom I would say I want you to do a bodhran part on this CD. Do what you feel works."
-Joe Bethancourt
Multi-Instrumentalist/Singer/Songwriter - Phoenix, AZ
"Vash has an amazing sense of timing and finesse when he plays. He is versatile and subtle while playing with others and I have learned a lot from playing with him. He is also a dynamic and skilled solo performer. His command of the stage and exchange with the audience engages people old and young and elicits fabulous responses from a variety of musicians. He is a joy to know and to make music with."
-Kathryn Claire
Fiddler/Singer/Songwriter - Eugene, OR
"Vash hits things". Over the past several years Vash has gained a reputation for being a first class Celtic percussionist. While best known for playing the Irish drum known as the bodhran, he has expanded with great success into a number of different drums, bones, and just about anything else he can hit. At the same time, Vash is fullfledged ENTERTAINER featuring hilarious patter and novelty songs. But most of all, Vash hits things and the audience loves it."
-George O'Brien
President Arizona Irish Music Society
"Having never met Vash before I was not sure what to expect. He was extremely personable and approachable with the audience and kept them completely engaged for the duration of his time onstage. His performance was heartfelt and energetic to the final note. A standing ovation and the line of folks waiting to talk to him after the set was a one two punch of a happy crowd. I hope to bring Vash back again to both teach and perform. Book him ...you won't be sorry! "
-David Bridson
Yachats Celtic Music Festival
"Vash, is an awesome teacher who makes a usually hard instrument very fun. He is a cool guy that is willing to go at his students pace and listen to them. And last but not least Vash, you da bomb."
-James Gingerich
Bodhran Student (Age 12) - Phoenix, AZ.
"Vash's hand is the equivalent of a hummingbird's wing. You have to film it, then slow the film down, to actually see it when he's drumming. Pretty amazing..."
