With thousands fans around the world and growing every day, especially with the release of his lastest 2 albums, “Doors to Somewhere” and “Travel Onward”, Allan is receiving well-deserved recognition for his musicianship, songwriting skills as well as overall sound and production. Most comments are taken from Internet Radio, Social Media and Emails. There’s also some great feedback directly from record company executives and other famous music industry folks.
“Allan is amazing! Doors to Somewhere is his best yet. Love it.” – Derek Sivers, founder, CD Baby, programmer and writer.
Perry Howard said “Allan’s songs are great” and production wise to quote “With the likes of Jeff Lynne, George Harrison and Steely Dan”.
“Allan is so talented!! He has a stunning new album that sounds a bit like Pink Floyd and Moody Blues. His music is classy and timeless. When I 1st heard his songs I knew he had the magic and talent.”
“Hey, I personally think that it shows that you are more musically gifted if you can bring us different kinds of music than just playing the same thing tune after tune. I like your music very much because of its diversity and you are not tryin’ to repeat yourself or any artist out there. I appreciate the creativity you put into your music style. From a true fan of all your music!”
“It is about time someone heard real talent and did something about it! I am very happy for you and all of your future listeners. ROCK ON!!!!”
“In your songs I hear compassion, strength, stories, old and new, memories, of yesterday and today. Past, future. But most of all I hear calm, soothing, I understand. With your instrumentals, I hear incredible talent, I hear happy, sad and other emotions. I don’t know a lick of the chords but I sure feel them!”
“The songs on the new album are absolutely amazing – beautiful, ethereal, soothing and in touch with the ineffable.”
