Reviews & Quotes
“…polished, knowing and witty… Through it all, Harley’s voice carries a positivistic tone, an attitude of hope even amidst the chaos and melancholy.” Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange
“This is what country roads in America sing like: hung with dark branches and first birds calling, and the odd sense that this world is brand new but also draped in stories spun from the cracked skin and sighs of laborers and wanderers, and wild things.” www.indyish.com
