"A folk/roots GEM". SoundProof Magazine

"Pippus is a refined tunesmith with serious pop hooks". Vancouver Province Newspaper

"'This City' sounds like the midnight musings of a man coming to terms with the outcome of his life." Earshot Magazine, April 2/09

"Born a Genius is Pippus’ second full length album. It appears that he has exorcised a few of his demons after the lonely pre-dawn lament of his first album, and he’s got stuff to say.
He has a gift for making us believe that he’s been down road and around the block, and is still kickin’ it." Earshot Magazine, Sept. 17/10

“[Howl At The Moon is...] a fantastic album. If you’re going to buy an album this year, go and buy this one”. Bob Blues, UK Radio Host, Jan. 15/13

Shoe City Sound	11/28/2017 9:41:12 AM Of course I'm referring to Crush The Fear, which I didn't mention in my comment haha
Shoe City Sound	11/28/2017 9:40:26 AM So many musicians want to write an important song like this one right now. I know I feel so strongly and I've trashed plenty of my own ideas for not being plain and powerful enough without sounding political and trite. You have nailed it on every level - simple truth with words, music and intent. I really admire what you've done here. Dolores
