Kind words from Debbie Carton, Art & Music Librarian, Berkeley Public Library – where I performed on September 13.
“The … rapt audience was completely caught up in Gans’ mix of original compositions, Grateful Dead songs and rock classics (he ended the set with Springsteen’s “Thunder Road”). He has great technical facility as a guitarist, an excellent voice and most important, the ability to connect with and interact with the audience. His audience ran the gamut from a very young man in a tie-dye shirt and superhero cape to senior citizens, and he somehow made every person there feel like he was singing to and for them. He delivers his songs with great thought and feeling, enriching the lyrics with his very present presence and considerable smarts.”
