“This is the ONLY musician I have ever promoted on Social Media. I find his music authentic, soulful and the kind I could curl up with on a rainy day (which we’re still having a lot of here in the Sierra Foothills) with a glass of Cabernet and listen to all day.”
“Oh, man… this is legit; well-written, well-arranged, harmonically interesting, excellent musicianship all-around, and you clearly know your vocal strengths in both solo and harmony situations.
