Jacob Connor - NZ Musician Magazine

"If you enjoy natural from the heart type of music, then you must go an see Bryce Wastney performs live. I got Bryce CD and I thoroughly enjoy it, but when I went to the live performance the raw emotion and heart throbbing background story that Bryce brings just multiply the aural experience elevating it into another level. A must see performance." Edwin Tejoz, CEO/founder/janitor of www.starfishmusic.net

“..This is some of the most beautiful music I have ever listened to. I play it just about every day!!! Still !! It's uplifting, inspiring, joyful, thoughtful, heartful, real.... your guitar is stunning....bright, clear, easy and rich. The songs speak of a life lived authentically and feelings considered deeply, and they help me recognise my own journey more clearly..”

“Bryce Wastney - Acoustic unplugged at the Crib Bar, April 3 Auckland, NZ. "Great music, cute venue, relaxed atmosphere and wonderful people… I can’t think of a better way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Thank you!" ”

““Seven of the songs have been used in a film called The Last Paradise,” film festivals in America; the Arlington Theatre sold three thousand tickets for their first showing.”- visit www.lastparadisefilm.com “All my songs have got a real Christian meaning to them. Every single one of them I’ve played in churches, baptisms, weddings and bars. They’re hope-filled songs about life and personal experiences. There are times when inspiration just flows out of me and I don’t sleep for days. It’s an awesome walk, all credit to God and my loyal supporters.” ”

“Ahhh, I feel so much better for listening to this!! It's like a breath of fresh air and I feel like I'm on the journey too! FAB!”

" Windsor Park Cafe was fortunate to have Bryce come and entertain us with an acoustic set that showcased his talent. A mix of covers and original songs highlighted his songwriting and excellent musical ability. Thanks so much for playing, spending time with the fans, and being an all round nice guy! You're welcome back anytime."

“Bryce Wastney’s performance in Christchurch in early January 2011, for a conservative Christian audience of some 600 people, was warmly received & enjoyed by all, young and old alike. Bryce and his beautiful accompaniment Aly, were able to create a very relaxed, entertaining and enjoyable atmosphere as they performed some well known songs of worship, along with many of Bryce’s own pieces of music that reflected his own life journey. I highly recommend this talented young musician”

Craig Gilles - Craig Gilles (President of SNZ conference)

“We had the opportunity of hosting Bryce in our cafe in melbourne. It was an amazing experience! While not just a top bloke, he is a genuine & authentic musician who writes, sings and plays from the heart. The journey with him is inspirational, captivating and one that leaves you wanting more.”

Chris Morgan (Director - Connection Lounge NSW) - Gig Review

“The crown jewel of the album though is the title track "A perfect day for travel". On this slow masterpiece Bryce gives you a performance that makes you shiver - in a good way. It's the kind of song you find yourself humming to when you wake up in the morning.”

"Bryce is an artist of great integrity working the NZ music scene.." (August 2007)

“I absolutely love the song 'Perfect Day for Travel' Very uplifting. Love the guitar tapestries (waterfalls) and the sparse vocal. I'm a fan! (June 2007)”
