"Pete Seeger: Storm King was one of those very rare evenings in the theatre when the audience and musicians truly share and celebrate a remarkable artist’s life. Remembering and learning anew about Pete Seeger’s music and his abiding belief in each individual’s potential was more than refreshing – it was an antidote to everything in the daily news. One gentleman in our audience told me, "I only cried six or seven times during the show.""—Michele Roberge, Executive Director, Carpenter Performing Arts Center


"When these passionate and talented artists perform together, they create a chemistry that is as wonderful to see as it is to hear . . ."—The Palladium-Times


"The onstage performance . . . is hauntingly moving and strikes a deep chord."—Kathryn Ross, Wellsville Daily Reporter
