“Blackshire has written a number of other occupy songs — including We Will Not Stop, We Shall Rise Up, We Need a Hero, Non Violence, and Consensus. But if there is an Occupy album, 99 to 1 will be the title song of the album. And maybe of the movement.”

“I have to say that Jonathan Blackshire has one of the coolest beards in Cleveland and nobody is writing more passionate protest tunes right now than him. Keep it up brother!!! And don't shave...”

“Jonathan Blackshire's sophisticated guitar blends well with the dulcet tones of his velvety voice as he transports the listener into his wonderful world of delightfully homespun music. He's worth your time, he's worth your money. Go see him and enjoy the show.”

“Jonathan Blackshire is one of the most versatile and talented artists I've had the pleasure of listening to and playing with. His original music is masterfully written and performed and he always displays a fresh perspective on cover songs. In both cases, he brings you in and lets you glimpse his soul. He is truly an inspiration.”

“Go see Jonathan Blackshire as soon as you can. Better yet, listen to his music. Whether rekindling your love for old songs with his unique covers or igniting new love for his originals, Jonathan's deep, expressive, emotional voice and accompaniment is something you will want to experience again and again. His musical talents are a treasure.”

“This guy can really sing a tune.”
