Bruce Davies

Sat. September, 29th

...voice in a million... - - BBC Celtic Roots, Scotland

Davies relied on the emotional intensity of his compositions and the exquisite richness of his baritone voice to carry the performance. He let the songs weave their own magic, taking the audience on an emotional journey...   - - Edinburgh Evening News, Scotland

Dave Mallett

Sat. October, 6th

He simply sings about angels and backaches, falling stars and fear, dancing and death and other things that comfort and confound us. At the center is Mallett's tenor, warm and friendly and deserving of our attention.   --Associated Press

Red Molly

Sat. October, 20th

Red Molly plays music the way I like it: unpretentious, straight from the heart, and way down deep in the old-time roots. It's true folk music that comes from the right place. They take me back to a purer time when people sang for one another just because of the love of music.  And they pack some power.  It's purely delightful and inspiring. It warms the soul.

- - Frank Matheis, Host, Frank's Picks, WKZE FM (Sharon, CT)

Mary Gauthier with local favorite Julie Clark

Sat. October, 27th

Her style has never had anything to do with the stereotypes that dog female singers with acoustic guitars. If she can be compared to another woman in music, it would be Patti Smith  - -  Nashville Scene

Doug MacLeod

Doug MacLeod, now there's a man who can really play the blues.  - - Delta Blues Legend Honeyboy Edwards                                                                                              

Bill Evans

Sat. November, 17th

He is able to reach into the banjo's past to make a sublime statement of its future

 - - Tim Bond, Bluegrass Now

it's hard not to fall in love with Smith's voice ... Emily Smith is white hot in Scotland these days and if there's any justice;

the globe will soon bask in her glow  - - Sing Out Magazine

Tanglefoot

Sat. April, 19                                                                                                                                       

Intelligent, well-written folk-influenced songs played with hell-bent, rampaging abandon.

That may be why Tanglefoot is described as Stan Rogers meets Van Halen.
