opening set by singer/ songwriter Rob Falgiano, whose remarkable vocal
range turned some heads.' -
Joe Sweeney, Buffalo News (Ingrid Michaelson concert review)
'Funk-rock band grooves with hints of soul and jazz, influenced by
groups like Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings and the Robert Glasper
Experiment.' -
Cory Perla, The Public 'His
use of digital blips and beats as flourishes sound something like Elvis
Costello singing with the Postal Service.' -
Peter Vullo, Artvoice
'Rob Falgiano took to the stage first. In a way, he was both Simon and
Garfunkel. His stature and guitar skills invoked the former while his
vocals recalled the latter.' -
Mackenzie Lambert, Buffalo Rising (Ingrid Michaelson concert review) 'His
(opening set) presented the audience with a mosaic of influences that
conjure up a likable & sometimes funky sound. His work vaguely resembles
that of John Mayer's earlier soft pop rock albums.' -
Allison Eck, Buffalo News (Three Dog Night concert review)
'His strongest, most finely detailed and compelling collection to date.'
-
Jeff Miers, Buffalo News
'Daring and
delicately understated.' -
Donny Kutzbach, Artvoice
'What's impressive
about your work is your unwillingness to settle for the obvious. More
challenging than simply crafting a pop tune, but when you put the
elements together properly the sky's the limit.' -
