Quotes and Reviews
“As I sat at the back of The Art Bar watching this performance, I quickly realized that this was the type of performance that I could just lean back, close my eyes, and float on the music… His songs have an ambient folk rock feel to them and are very enticing musically, with the lyrics tending to invoke some beautiful imagery.” Being There Magazine www.beingtheremag.com
“Nice work and beautiful songs.” Michael Brauer (Coldplay, Simon & Garfunkel, Ron Sexsmith, Bob Dylan, Rachel Yamagata, Jeff Buckley)
“Your voice and vibe sound beautiful.” Pat Mastelotto (King Crimson, Mr. Mister, David Sylvian, XTC)
“I stayed for the entire show and was thankful that so many people suggested Arctic. Had there not been such a strong buzz about the band with the people that I had talked to, I probably would have gone home without ever having heard them. I think that goes to show the power of word of mouth!” Dillsworth bradydillsworth.com/blog
“An especially fine songsmith… His melancholy melodies burn with ache and longing.” Molly O’Poverty www.mollyopoverty.com
