"Andy Kimbel is a master of the guitar. He plays with emotion and energy that jumps out at you whether he is gently plucking on a slower ballad or moving his fingers at a lightning pace on an energetic blues or even a Celtic selection" ..… Guitar Player Magazine

"Andy Kimbel tells his story with voice and guitar, drawing on the techniques that have sustained itinerant blues artists for generations. For this fingerstyle guitarist, the instrument is a portable orchestra, with bass lines, chords, and fragments of melody to support his vocals.” . . .Hawaii Public Radio

"Started out great and he keeps getting better! His folk and country blues, self-written or by other blues greats, zoom right into his audience’s heart. He often provides his own percussion by placing a mic for his tapping feet while he picks his guitar.”- . . . Tri-Cities Paper, Syracuse NY

.."Not many can engage an audience as a solo performer for almost three hours,  a one-man Grateful Dead to the bone'. . .   Springfield Sun

"Andy Kimbel is an acoustic blues guitar fingerpicker and string-bender!... "  "Intelligent, soulful songwriting and dazzling guitar work." . . . . Acoustic Guitar Magazine
