"This guy's a monster on the acoustic guitar." - Annette Warner, A.Warner Entertainment!
"Sunday evening shows at The Pour House generally give listeners a chance to
nurse a weekend of hangovers, and tonight is no exception. Two local folkies
make up this week's Sunday soundtrack: Raleigh's Paul Daniel focuses on the
punch of the desolate, echoing the world-weary Springsteen or, better yet, a
less-scruffy Pete Yorn. Cary's Andrew Kasab works from the other side of the
spectrum, turning his acoustic into a mouthpiece for emotion as he picks and
strums his way through bluesy Americana rags."
- The Independent "On
behalf of the Board of Directors of Triangle Uncorked, I wish to say
thank you to Andrew Kasab for entertaining at Triangle Uncorked
2007. Andrew Kasab's music was excellent and
well-received. Andrew was a pleasure to work with and very
professional. I will not hesitate to call on Andrew again in the
future." - John Thomas, North Raleigh Rotary Club, Chairman Entertainment Committee, Triangle Uncorked, Koka Booth Ampretheater 2007
"I
wanted to take an opportunity to extent a personal statement about
Andrew Kasab, an artist with whom my stores have worked regularly with
in recent months. Several stores in the North Carolina area have had
the pleasure of hosting a live performance with Andrew and all have
been very positive and enjoyable experiences. He is extremely
professional and dedicated, offering his time to perform in our stores
with energy and passion for his music that our staff and Borders
customers just love. All stores have nothing but great things to say!"
- Stacy MacGregor, District Marketing Manager, Borders North Carolina and Tidewater VA
"Truly an amazing artist, I found so much talent and diversity
in Andrew Kasab's music, I was immediately pulled into his mix of funky
rock, red-hot blues and superb folk sound. Andrew has this deep voice,
full of passionate soul that he lays into his guitar with. He's pulled
deep into his roots to create extraordinary lyrics in songs like
"Devil's Got No Hold" and "Regret". It's a toe-tapping good time CD! If
you like your blues on the rocks with a little folk, you'll love Andrew
Kasab's Crossing! " - WilmingtonNCMusic.com
“…Extr
"I have to admit, I'm
totally partial to homemade releases, and Andrew Kasab's Crossing is so
homemade that it makes my computer hum and vibrate with a strange buzz. The
music itself is earnest singer-songwriter strumming with a little pit of
post-Dave Matthews rhythmic kick (not to mention hyper-sensitivity) evident in
Kasab's playing, which frequently detours off into deft fills. In places ("Regret"),
Kasab sounds like he's fronting a band that's not actually there, and one can
imagine the band swinging into a groove behind him, all busy bass lines and
semi-funky snares. The music, though, is better off without a band, leaving
some amount to be imagined (which is more than can be said for most dudes with
acoustic guitars). " - Jambands.com
