Press

“I love "So Crazy".........great tune. My wife says your a bard. - Feb 10”

— David Dean

“I listened to every one of your songs this morning and I have to agree that they all give such a peaceful feeling to the listener. Great acoustic guitar playing with such a nice tone and a superb vocal performance on every track. Dec 2011 ”

— Dale Kaul, Reverbnation

“Just love your clear, honest vocals on these songs.."So Crazy" is just wonderful, such a strong lyric and some very unexpected and rewarding chord progressions. "Red Soil" is also blessed with a beautiful piece of poetry to tell it's story. Just wonderful writing Graham! ”

— MikeWhitePresents, Reverbnation

“ I just listened to The Red Soil and went to another world!!! sooooo beautiful!!!!!”

— Savannah Bleu, Reverbnation

“Playing Go with the Flow and once again, consistent perfection here.”

— Joe - NYC Guitarist, Reverbnation

“The Red Soil is a remarkable song. From the moment it starts to the final chords, it takes me to a different place in time and perspective. That's my definition of a great work. Wade 6/21/11”

— Wade Hoage (Shadebull), Reverbnation

“I so much admire the intimacy you create while presenting those outstanding lyrics! You don't really perform - you share - soul to soul. "The Red Soil" is a favorite of mine. VERY NICELY DONE!”

— Don Worden, Reverbnation

“I love your music. You remind me of a British Loudon Wainwright III. "The Old Busker" is far and away my favorite tune, but "Go With The Flow" is close behind it. ”

— Ross Gipson, Reverbnation

“ Really, really sweet guitar work and lyrics Graham!! Reminds me a lot of the folk era of the '60s and artists like Phil Ochs, Gordon Lightfoot, etc. I think my favorite is "Red Soil" Keep up the great work and the best of luck to you !!”

— Randy Barb, Reverbnation

“This is getting silly. I am back to So Crazy again. Luuuuuvvvv those chord voicings. Cant get them out of my head. Just a fun song. Love the vocals too. Like a hand in a glove. Perfect fit. ”

— Joe -NYC Guitarist, Reverbnation
