"This is, to folk, what Bela Fleck is to Foggy Mountain
Breakdown. This is unusual and exciting."
—Philadelphia Folk Song Society
"The
perfect welcome packet to the world of Mendilow: gorgeous, enchanting
sound and technically rich music wrapped up in a fun, playful
atmosphere."
—Bay

“Catchy licks that almost instantly have
listeners moving along to the groove…the glory of what [Mendilow]
does is finding a common ground among different cultures. And
that’s what makes his music so exciting.”
—Jewish
Advocate
“…an
emerging master of overtone singing…as compelling as it
is diverse…the audience he is reaching is hearing him loud
and clear.”
—Metrowest
