Richard Pinney's Performance Reviews

"The place was packed, probably over capacity. Pinney was superb!! ...a professional in every sense of the word. He writes beautiful music, both pop and traditional. He's a marvelous slide guitar player. There was just the right combination of strong voice and great command of his guitar, not to mention the audience's involvement. His lyrics are exceptional. Pinney is worth looking into. I can't wait to get my hands on some of his recordings." Walrus Report Radio Newsweekly (Show at University of Hartford, CN)

"First rate...the folk-pop field is a crowded one, but Pinney definitely has a chance to make an inroad." Variety (Club date, New York City)

"There are rapt fans in the house and almost every one falls effortlessly under the beguiling spell of these songs. Pinney is one of the few artists, in any style or performing format, who is more richly rewarding the more carefully you listen. The folk label doesn^'t fit anymore." Madison Press Connection (Show at Capitol Theatre)

"The opening act [for Tuck and Patti] was singer/songwriter/guitarist Richard Pinney. Equally accomplished at all three, his folksy, acoustic set was very enjoyable...Pinney is also an A&R man for Narada Records. It's nice to know that people in the music business have a strong sensibility for the music." Night Sights and Sounds

"His experience is evident in his self-assured stage presence. His lyrics are at times brilliant...When he combined these lyrics with a fluid guitar arrangement, the result was a song in which all the elements fit together to form a single coherent unit." Insider

"If you can^'t catch Pinney live, then pick up his album. It's definitely worth the price." Madcity Music Guide

"He does with one guitar that which it takes others two guitars to do, playing rhythm, lead, and bass at the same time." Mankato (MN)State University Reporter
