“A folksinger by calling and by determination, this young man makes music for himself and we’re fortunate to be recipients of the thoughtful and provocative, insightful and superlative work he produces. ”
“His intricate finger-picking style works exceptionally alongside his understated and laidback vocal. It has a disarming charm to it as [he] wonders and wanders his way through a beautiful soundscape. It taps perfectly into American folklore.”
