... "Drunk" showcases Fortier's forte: strong guitars, melt-your-heart lyrics and snappy, dancing-in-the-dark prairie ballads.

... He's one of the best artists in Eugene right now, and his music shows the promise of matching or eclipsing other fine songwriters in the region, such as Chris Robley or Rocky Votolato.
