"AM may not be an easy artist to Google but his music is contagious." - KCRW 89.9 FM, Todays Top Tune Feature..

— Buzztone

“..tough and sensitive, tasteful and inventive, channeling a softer Jeff Buckley or a stripped-down, entirely unpretentious Wilco.”

— John Meyer, WERS Boston

“...AM writes literate, emotionally balanced tunes that are infectious without being moronic, hip without being oh so, and pop infected without losing their edge...”

— Jedd Beoudoin, f5wichita - Quote 1 of 2

“... he is a songwriter ready to be discovered by a wider audience, an audience interested in smart and sincere songs that speak to the vastness of the human spirit.”
