Press Reviews "A.J. Bascom is a solo artist from New Hampshire who writes and performs all the material here... For a 16 year-old, it's phenomenal. A disciple of Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan, he has progressed colossally in the two short years since he started playing guitar. He plays the Blues with some real fire, and if he keeps progressing at the rate he has been, I predict Big Things for A.J. Bascom... I look forward to hearing more..." (Conrad Teves) "Keep on playin A.J. you're on your way. . . . Keep the blues alive with your playing and one day soon you will shine!!" - Jack Falk, "I once came across a guitar player like you. He was a natural talent... Don't give up. Share your music with the world. The blues sometimes are forgotten by younger people, but they needn't be. I played in a blues band for a while. . . they were a talented bunch of mother's let me tell you, and so are you. Keep it up." - Benny [Betterstock], "...Good stuff man, you rip! Keep it up." Steve Hadeka [Seth Yacovone Blues Band]
