"Saxon shows us he can be a talented songmaker with fascinating and modern stories to tell." ------Valsam, Roots Time 11/30/09 - Roots Time
"Typically, I eschew folk rock. Which is why I found something especially endearing about Brett Saxon, whose ability to sing, play harmonica and strum the guitar almost simultaneously should win over stony music cynics."
--Rohin Guha; BlackBook Magazine, Socialitelife.com

Brett Saxon doesn’t rely on technical frills or theatrics to effectively communicate through song. This straightforward singer-songwriter has a light, breezy and somehow summery sound, peppered with a hint of bittersweet nostalgia. With even, clean-toned vocals and spirited, jubilantly-strummed chords, Saxon drives through well-written pop-folk ballads, sometimes echoing the movements of early Dylan, and as Saxon himself said: “this [next] song reminds me of Wilco”. ---Dan DIppolito, Jezebel Music - Jezebel Music
