Reviews
“His attitude is irreverent, but his enthusiasm for the blues is clear.”
“His reverential leanings are of the psychedelically induced variety with a PhD in Reverential Blues”
- No Depression: The Journal of Roots Music
“Spiritually positive songs, faithful covers, great choice of players!!”
- David Gans, author and radio host (The Grateful Dead Hour)
"Reverend Freakchild has released a new album, titled The Bodhisattva Blues. The album features an all-star cast of supporting musicians, including Melvin Seals, and Mark Karan and Robin Sylvester of RatDog. In addition, Chris Parker (who has played with Bob Dylan and Stuff among others) provides drums for the album"
"What of his music? Like Zen Buddhism, it’s contemplative and esoteric, meant to empty one’s mind of worries and fears and fill it with peace."
“Singing blues and Buddhist practice have become part of the same spiritual journey ever since a chance meeting with the Zen teacher Bernie Glassman in 2012… Reverend Freakchild combines traditional blues with original songs that often reflect Buddhist teachings. .”
