Recent Quotes/Reviews
"A classical guitar virtuoso!" (Boulder Daily Camera)
"Andy is, without question, the most versatile performer I have ever seen... He has a natural charisma on stage, a mesmerizing virtuosity on the guitar, and a voice that completely captivates people." (Susan Varner, KSPK Radio)
"Your heart breaks and swells several times while listening... [The Last Love Song] is a beautifully layered album musically that still manages to preserve the spirit and intimacy of one of his live performances." (Scott Southworth — The Music Row Show)
"...What refreshing, smooth music for your soul, that enters your ear and exits through a wonderful exhale of fine listening. Andy Hackbarth, I am hitting repeat as I type!" (Preshias Harris — Nashville Music Journal, Nashville Music Guide)
"...A high energy show, lush-yet-gritty vocals... and an ethereal writing style that is both clever and haunting." (Wet Mountain Tribune)
"...as young as he looks, but he is so damn good. Andy has a homegrown honesty that can only come from an open heart. So give your tired soul a rest and listen to Andy's music... his melodies immediately pull you into the song, his voice smooth and clear and mellow... Andy's writing reminds me so much of early Dylan, Folgelberg and Anderson it's eerie..." (John Moore, KRZA Radio)
"A VERY enjoyable CD!!!" (Grady Kirkpatrick, NPR/WPR "Morning Music with Grady Kirkpatrick")
"Where else can you hear mind bending classical guitar so pure it will make you weep for joy followed by a really great kick-ass country song like "Pour Me a Double." Only at a Andy Hackbarth show. Not to be missed." (Claude Appel — Founder, Cuchara Summer Nights Concert Series)
"Hackbarth is tailor-made for hot AC radio and would fit seamlessly alongside acts like Jack Johnson, Jason Mraz, Howie Day and Mat Kearney..." (Dave Herrera, Westword Magazine)
"...has already established himself atop the Who's Who list of next generation performing songwriters..." (Sangre DeCristo Valley Lifestyles Magazine)
"From the moment Andy stepped on stage he charmed and captivated our audience with engaging opening stories to his songs, beautiful lyrics and guitar work. We received such a positive response to Andy that we will be booking him as a feature performer in 2011." (Tanya Czerniakowski — Special Events Coordinator, City of Lone Tree)
"We have been fortunate to have the very talented Andy Hackbarth perform twice at the NIC . He has a wonderful light-hearted and happy sound -- somehow reminiscent of a romantic comedy! -- that appeals to audiences of all ages. A true crowd-pleaser, I have gotten many requests to have him return and we have every intention of doing just that." (Lori A. Klatt — Adminstrative Coordinator, Nicolaysen Art Museum, City of Casper)
