"It reminds me a bit of artists like David Grey, Shawn Colvin, Dave Matthews, and maybe even John Mayer. That's a cool direction to be heading in. The acoustic and fiddle instrumentation works well. This is well recorded in that everything is clean and clear sounding." Taxi
"The Penn State history student has got a Paul-Simon-meets-John-Mayer -college style of singing which is easy on the ears and pleasant to listen to." -Pulse Weekly, March 2007
"The duo isn't something you see every day in the clubs of the Lehigh Valley. But it's an interestingly potent combo, as a listen to the Billy Bauer Band will reveal. Bauer is a fine singer-songwriter with his acoustic guitar alone." -Morning Call Go Guide, November 2006
"I am currently listening to your music and really enjoying it. You are all good. Vocals and instrumentation really impressed me." -Shut Eye Records
