"The Sandman is undoubtedly one of the most challenging, intelligent, and gut-busting funny performers this side of the Mississippi. . . . The central theme is really folk music, but don't be fooled: this is not your Mom's folk." -- The Local Planet

"Finally, someone has figured out how to put rap and country together into a brilliant musical act." -- Missoulian Entertainer

"There's something important about this music. It encompasses a lot of genres and the bottom line is that Sandman sets himself apart with a rousing originality." -- Portland (ME) Press Herald

"Olympians know Sand as the Sandman, an acoustic-guitar carrying songwriter who writes with the traditional voice of wandering dust bowl cowboys from the 30s and 40s. They also know him as one of the area's most prolific and distinctive-sounding rappers. . . . a musician who's always searching and always learning. . . . an artist with depth and dexterity." -- The Olympian

"Sandman produces a thoroughly contemporary and unromanticized vision of the itinerant minstrel . . . His songs arise from the same dusty world Woody Guthrie wrote about without being mired in the dust of Guthrie's tradition." -- Grant Alden, No Depression

"Sand sings songs of social subversion, but he gets off on weaving metaphors and spinning rhymes, rather than rhetoric." -- Willamette Week

"Sandman is our troubadour for the 21st century." -- Punk Planet
