“Loren Dircks has been a fixture in Tucson's music scene for more than two decades, first as a founding member of "country metal" stalwarts Gila Bend and currently as a solo performer”
Mike Meyer - New Times
“I have known Dircks for decades and I think he is THE BEST guitarist in this town. He also knows how to write a catchy song that'll stick in your head long after you've heard it.
”
Al Perry - Zocalo
“Loren Dircks knows how to keep listeners guessing. The singer-songwriter and wild-guitar tamer, who for years led Gila Bend, recently released a new solo CD" ....."For sure, Dircks is exploring other music influences—the album couldn't be more interesting, and at times, it approaches genius.
