He really does deserve waaay more recognition, although it's nice to see him play in such small surroundings as The Slaughtered Lamb last night. Twas the first time seeing him and it won't be the last. Ridiculously talented. Very much enjoyed the new stuff too, can't wait for the next album!

Saw him last week when he was spending his "off days", as he called it, in Germany. He supported Nathaniel Rateliff there, and it was just amazing. The voice, the lyrics...he definitely is a musical genius

Saw him play solo about a year ago. I was honestly really impressed. Just saw him again perform with a full band. Wow, I was blown away. He even played a few tracks off of his yet-to-be-released next album. Amazing. www.stonehillband.com
