Press Reviews “When Weinstock takes the stage with his acoustic guitar and smiling voice, the audience seems less of a crowd than a group of friends; as if the apartment wasn’t big enough to handle them all so they rented out a bar.” -Michael Noble, The Townie, 20-11-00 “Intensely heartfelt lyrics and evocative music… Journalists meet many fascinating folks, but occasionally an interview resonates as a personal favourite. Such was the case recently, when I met Mark Weinstock.” –Joyce Singer-D’Aprile, CJN, 27-07-00 “He played with a unique passion and energy…Mark continues the great musical tradition of one man strumming a guitar and singing from the depths of his soul, creating beauty out of all the chaos…his music, like his journey, is filled with a purity of spirit.” -Nick Hebb, The Gargoyle, 11-01-01 “He’s sweet, he’s nice, he’s someone you’d want to bring home to mom… Weinstock has created a musical kaleidoscope.” -John Sinopoli, The Varisty, 18-01-01 “Weinstock’s intimate concerts have created a loyal following…The album (Mark’s Patchwork) takes the listener through a series of moods building from an energy-filled beginning to more intimate song…in the blending of musical styles and the weaving of the stories.” -Sherri Platt, The Village Post Magazine, July, 00 “This CD is full of intensely personal, flowing, melodically, haunting songs! If listening, as opposed to hearing, is an activity you enjoy, or even relish, pop this disc in and let it take you on a journey.” -Rick Levine, The Iceberg.com, Oct., 00 “Acoustic music for a lazy, sunny afternoon. …it's comfortable, giving you that familiar feeling of home.” - Debbie Bento, Chartattack, 11-07-00
