"In a mangled, attenuated
voice recalling both Al Green
and Randy Newman, Goat
sings songs of inspiration
and healing and more healing."
- LA Weekly

"Beck-meets-Bono…distinct
enough to drive it to the top."
- Billboard Music

“...an ultra-smooth, classically tuneful, Rat Pack-esque professional balladeer.”
- Washington Post Express

" An excellent pianist, Goat’s vocals range from celebratory to animated, occasionally sentimental, but always intense and demonstrative."
- Nashville City Paper

“…clever songwriting and quirky grooves highlight the music of this New York performer..”
- Chicago Sun-Times

“He has a great ear for clever melody, and his voice has just enough grit in it to make it interesting.”
- Up Against the Wall

“A very talented songwriter and musician…his tunes are very original, creative and dripping with emotion.”
- Bozone

Opening slot for Madeleine Peyroux at the sold-out 1800 capacity Bass Hall: "Nicely setting the mood was Goat, who played jazz piano with the intense focus of Peanuts' Schroeder...his calming vocals are like a human version of a muted trumpet. The only thing that could enhance this kind of laid-back, cozy performance is for the audience to sit at tables and swirl some kind of smooth liquor around rocks."
