"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
