“Q: If you had to choose between making art or music, how would you choose? A: I never would.”

— Gary Sweeney, San Antonio Current

"Snyder says he is heavily influenced by musical and lyrical elements rather than traditional artistic genres."

— Breann Boze, bboze art blog: san antonio

"Wolverton’s got some potent, quiet music, and the recordings make you feel like they’re right there, reckoning the quirks of our heritage right alongside them. What it leaves out is as important as what it throws together but is gloriously free of twang or self-conscious neo-traditionalism. Contemplative, affectionate, warm and gently flawed, it’s roots music sans self-importance, and Hills Snyder’s songwriting is witty and doleful and full of unexpected touches; as in 'Guts,' a small song that sounds like deeply personal footnotes to the human epic. You know how in 'Tangled Up In Blue,' you can’t tell whether the time frame is 19th century or Now? Kinda like that."

— Sarah Fisch, Glasstire

"I’d always wondered what a Hills Snyder song sounded like. About one year ago I asked Snyder, an artist, to create an altare to Doug Sahm for a Day of the Dead photography feature. Something just told me he was the man for the job. Not until we were driving out to the installation site did he tell me he also was a singer-songwriter. I asked where he played, and I’m pretty sure he said 'my backyard.' "

— Callie Enlow, San Antonio Current

"Joe Reyes doesn't have multiple personalities. Joe Reyes does have a career with multiple paths. Reyes is an excellent guitarist, a singer, a songwriter, a guitar instructor and a Grammy-winning record producer. As a producer, his credits include disparate projects such as Freddy Fender, Marcus Rubio, the Cartographers, Hills Snyder, and John and Jimmie Whipple."

— Jim Beal, San Antonio Express-News

"Considering the family's last performance occurred last spring in the bathroom of the local Grand Hyatt penthouse, it's best to expect the unexpected from this eclectic collective."

— Callie Enlow, San Antonio Magazine

"The next artist rodeo is a free offering of performance art and music by artists’ bands starting promptly at 7 p.m. this Saturday at the Cove when Hills Snyder’s group Wolverton begins their set. The band, including Caralyn Snyder, Kate Terrell, and Jeremiah Teutsch, presents acoustic sounds infected by Snyder’s peculiar sense of humor. "

— Bryan Rindfuss, San Antonio Current

Her first full-length album, Monarch (2012), includes tracks like Marathon that earned a spot on the docu-reality TV show, Troubadour, TX, in 2011. The album was named a top 12 album of 2012 by the San Antonio Current and leans heavily on rich lyrics, ethereal vocal melodies and complex characters. Critics have called her “a songwriter to follow” and “a poet of the first order.” As a songwriter, Nicolette leans heavily on the subtle twists of a story that keep listeners on tilt. 41Entertainment said it best, “Nicolette writes like butter melts.” http://nicolettegood.com/ Austin writer and performance artist Gene Fowler is the author of Mavericks: A Gallery of Texas Characters, published by U.T.
