Press Reviews He writes odes to Natalie Portman and eloquent guitar instrumentals which fuse nicely with gentle and inward-reaching music. When you listen carefully, you can hear the influence of James Taylor and Simon & Garfunkel. Like them, Derren Raser plays it acoustic and sings with ardor and vulnerability. And also like them, he wears his heart on his guitar instead of on his sleeve, which makes it easy to imagine him a troubadour from days past. Pop in for a live show and you'll get to hear music that you can bring home on his CD, Changes. -- Dylan Roberts, DigitalCity.com
