"...Strahan shows he knows his way around a slow blues, creating tension with gritty singing and volatile guitar playing...a rewarding project that should garner more attention for the multi-talented Jeff Strahan."

— Mark Thompson, Blues Blast Magazine

“Next Up, Jeff Strahan, he's out of Texas, he has got some stuff going on with his guitar and his hammond b-3. This guy is a scorcher! ”

— Ray Randal, Americana Roots Review

“Mighty tasty guitar riffs and shuffles with a Texas blues feel with the organ playing of musical ripping counsel. From the honky-tonk blues Ambassador , descend to the Mexican border (Soy Tu Hombre ) to the soulful and acoustic spent Daughters Lullabye 's "Wayward Son" by Jeff Strahan a pleasant drive to listen. Good for fifty minutes of music you'll love them.”

— John Schoenmakers, AltCountryForum

"Strahan is a fiery Texas spirit, a killer guitar player & piano pounder and singer, as wild as the high plains from which he hails, and as cool as the hill country where he lives. He’s as real & strong as lightning, I swear, and I love being around him, to hear how he's going to knock me out next." Walt Wilkins, Singer/Songwriter

— Walt Wilkins, Producer/Singer/Songwriter, Press Release

“Whether working out on Fender Stratocaster, organ or piano, Jeff Strahan knows how to boogie, how to kick out blues/rock and how to soulfully move from uptempo booty shakers to thoughtful ballads. It all comes together on Strahan's Walt Wilkins-produced CD “Wayward Son.” San Antonio Express News ”

— Jim Beale, Jr., San Antonio Express News

“His latest CD, (Wayward Son, Squaw Peaks Records) is probably his most diverse and strongest studio album to date. He masters the Stratocaster along with the best of them and does equally well playing keys. . . When asked to describe his music he calls it “Music that doesn’t suck." A blend of soulful-country-blues-rock-and folk.” Most people will agree - it doesn’t suck. It’s even pretty good. In some instances, real good. [H]e makes music full time, playing all over Texas, with frequent tours to other parts of the United States, combining his stage training from law school with his natural ability to connect with the audience. Throw in a thirst for writing songs that he can play in front of people, a spirituality that has guided him his whole life, and the intelligence to make it all come together, and you’ve got an Americana act that translates around the globe. ”

— Tracie Ferguson, Booking Agent for Gruene Hall, Jeff Strahan Bio

“Being the Director of Promotions and Entertainment Coordinator for the region's premier Blues venue means I get to hear all of the best touring acts. Jeff Strahan was one of the biggest, most soul-filling surprises we've had in a long time. He's a masterful poet and one hell of a shredder, both on guitar and keys.”

— Honey Sepeda, Blues & Greens, Boulder, CO

“Hell, I’m just going to say it: he out Buddy-Guys Stevie Ray.. ., then [he'll] play guitar and piano simultaneously. He’ll whang a quick rhythm chord and then, with just his right hand, break out a 55-gallon drum of Jerry Lee whupass on the keyboard.”

— Bill Aspinwall, Texas Music Journal

“2008 provided a huge variety of great Blues CDs and this year's ballot reflects a nice cross-section of those releases. We would like to mention some who received many nominations, but not enough to make the final ballot. Among those were Albert Cummings; Jeff Strahan's Amen To The Blues. . . ”

— Blues Wax, Blues Wax

“As I watched his show, I began to wonder if I thought Jeff was better as a guitar player, a singer, or a keyboard player. On a number of the live tunes Jeff handles all three duties. Jeff delivers a killer live performance . . . Amen To The Blues, one of my favorites of the year!”

— Don Zelazney, Americana Roots

“Jeff is an extremely accomplished guitarist and keyboard player, who sometime plays both simultaneously, leaving the audience wondering, ‘how can he do that? If you like music, checking out Jeff Strahan is a worthy investigation. If you like the blues, it’s a must.”

— Mark Kneubuhl, San Angelo Live
