 Wakey!Wakey! has been described as "Bob Dylan with a sense of humor or Ray Davies with an American accent. (Roman Games Diary) "...when he plays, there is this energy in the air that can't really be described - he sings with such raw emotion, he pulls every single person in the room into the story he tells with each song." (Gig Apple) |
