Listeners who tune in to the Back Bay Guitar Trio may find themselves switching from Jimi Hendrix to such
classical guitar giants as Andres Segovia and Julian Bream. All three musicians bring varied backgrounds to a musical experience that is classical but not conventional. Robert Knox Boston.com
The album, is a delight to listen to for both guitar-heads and classical enthusiasts alike; the
technical ability and airtight arrangements are enough to make the album a worthwhile listen, but the music is played with an artful delicacy that transcends usual fare. Astor Piazzola's L'Evasion, shows
both the trio's formidable technical chops and eclectic taste, and segues into a beautiful transcription of Brahms' Intermezzo in A major. Callum MacKenzie The Groove
Berklee College of Music
"The Back Bay Guitar Trio can conjure a sweet choir of angels or rip into the strings with the percussive fervor of a jazz drummer." Karen Campbell
The Boston Globe
"The Back Bay Guitar Trio doesn't just play classical music; they recreate it with energy, spirit, humor and abounding talent. This is Bach, Mozart and Gershwin
like you've never heard them before. Just one of the musicians would have rendered me slack jawed and happy, but three? The guitars literally sang and danced with one another, as the audience grinned and
swayed in the seats. Top-notch performance! Can't wait for the return concert." Carol Jankowski Director of Programming, Duxbury Free Library Duxbury, MA

"The Back Bay Guitar Trio is an absolute musical delight that must not be missed. The music that flows from three acoustic guitars playing in seamless
consort creates a new instrumental sound – one that captures your mind and your heart in a way that will leave you breathless, wanting for more. Whether performing their standard repertoire, accompanying the
lusciousness of the human voice, or playing in consort with other string and wind instruments, the Back Bay Guitar Trio will mesmerize your mind and make your heart sing."
