Press Reviews SIRENSONGMAGAZINE.COM - "Rory Collins is an acoustic pop/rock artist whose music features a strong, folksy sound. His guitar work is clearly influenced by Edwin McCain and Dido; the acoustic notes he plays fill the air with a sincere sound. His lyrics are simple and occasionally tinged with religious references, but there's a sadness found in even his most hopeful songs. It's a plaintive cry that fills his voice and every word he sings." SIDELINES, Murfreesboro, Tn. - "If you love a love song, you will love Rory." THE TAHTONKA TIMES, Yellowstone, Wy. - "Rory, vocalist/guitarist, won first place in the area (Old Faithful) talent show on July 25 and earned second place in the Park-wide contest on July 27."
