Press Reviews “A Guitar Great.” -Peter Stack, SAN FRANCISCO CHRONICLE“His licks make sense, there’s a real clarity to his work. He plays with his fingers which gives a texture and control no pick can afford. He’s a bluesman.” - Elliot Schneider, S.F. WEEKLY“By using his fingers instead of a pick he comes up with a number of shadings and colors most guitarists never dream of...a unique style of phrasing, and a seemingly inexhaustible amount of tricks, licks and ways to go.” -Richard Glauber, WHAT’S HAPPENING“Killer modern blues..soulful vocals and fluid guitar work. American Dreamer is a really sterling effort that deserves wider exposure.”-Mick Skidmore, RELIX MAGAZINE “...Guitar Heaven.” -Tess Taylor, MUSIC CONNECTION
