“Macias’ voice has a very soothing Roy Orbison feel to it ... the lyrics are inspired. “Break This Bottle” and “The Way The River Flows” could have been recorded by Orbison himself. . . . favorite track on Firefly is “Take This Town.””

“With Firefly, singer-songwriter George Palmer Macias has managed to move himself to the head of the pack, in the very fertile music ground that’s found in Austin, Texas.”

“Macias’s lyrics are interesting enough in themselves, but thankfully they’re just gravy on top of an already enjoyable sonic experience, full of smooth, swaying ballads ... and old-school rockers ... a promising solo debut.”

“Macias kicked off the release of his first solo CD album, Firefly, with a show at the Saxon Pub on April 18th to great acclaim. Firefly was produced by Stephen Doster and engineered and recorded by James Stevens at East Austin Recording . . .Wow. 5.0”

““There are 10 really strong songs with good lyrics. Production including trumpet, piano and organ is very good . . . a very good debut album . . . Best track: "Take this Town.””
