About Me

"This is by far the most grabbing male folk album to come through our doors in months. It's hard not to make comparisons to Paul Simon's more sensitive folk writing with a similar mix of warmth, open space, breathy vocals, innocence and a dewy, green clarity of intention. His songs have a way of stealing your breath away and removing you momentarily from the passing of time, suspending you in full-body harmonies. While he has a knack for open-hearted, reflective songs, there is the slightest echo of acoustic jam band writing, giving this album a well-balanced emotional scope from track one to eleven. Bravo."
-CDBaby

"...a CD of such exquisite quality that you are immediately enthralled by it. A CD which is always close to your sound system so you can play it daily..."
"This masterpiece is worthy of a place in the singer/songwriter Hall of Fame."
"Breathtakingly beautiful..." & "...A true listening experience..."
- Folk Forum's Paul Van de Wiel

"...Marvelous voice! At once versitile, dynamic and angel-like."
"He possesses the special kind of talent you only see come along once a decennium. If you're lucky."
- Eric van Domburg Scipio of the Netherland's Haven Magazine, April 2006
