““The Bird Runs” grows with repeated listens, as underneath the skin are songs who are illusively winding and turning down unexpected paths. Altogether, this is an impressive debut which shows great promise for four musicians, individually and collectively.”

“Intricate, spiritual (though not exactly denominational) and poetically waxed, Mecaskey and DeRubertis pen emotional, uplifting songs that haunt the memory...these four Cle-folk are onto something that is completely original. You'll find yourself returning to this slate of music again and again.”

“Your music is wonderful - very professional, sweet and moving. You have an embarrassment of riches. Your sound reminds me of YoYo Ma's Silk Road Project, which I love. Unusual and haunting. Best wishes for great success.”

“The Bird Runs is a gently delivered montage of intricate, organic folk compositions that lifts you high above usual songwriting. Lyrically it dabbles heavily in the metaphysical, but buries its stakes deep within your brain. It's as hopeful as it is elegiac, and haunts you till you're back for more.”

“The Bird Runs has achieved something great, but it won't grab you at the onset. Dig a little deeper and you'll find more than a collection of nice folk songs. These four Cleveland natives are surely onto something great, and there's nothing stopping them...”

“Ancient wisdom painted in soft melody and sung with gut wrenching sincerity. I get chills when I listen, and desire to love God and change the core of my outlook and practice.”

"The Bird Runs" has quickly become my most played cd. These artists have created a sound reflective and rhythmic, exciting and calming, harmonious and melodic, complex and simple. This is quite possibly the most balanced music I have heard in quite a long time. Tinamou, I dub thee "acoustifunk!"
