QUOTES

 

"Like a trip to my cowboy therapist, at first glance Brad Creel’s music is honest and unassuming, and then BANG, you realize you’re listening to cold, dry wit and nuanced heartwarming humor.  His genuine love for acoustic music, songwriting, and bluegrass comes across clear on REEVELED and make it a joy to listen to.  Creel has an infectious jovial quality about him that charms the pants off me every time."
- Lincoln Crockett, singer/songwriter

 

"Brad Creel is one singer/songwriter who doesn't take himself too seriously. His "everyman" persona and wry vocal style infuse his debut album with pathos and humanity, merging a neo-bluegrass palette with a cartoonist's skewed sense of humor."

-Lisa Lepine, music industry consultant

 

“Reveeled” is totally unique and truly “Brad”… honest to the core, tunefully addictive, and with humor that detonates with a “depth” charge."

  1. -Abram Rosenthal, playwright/songwriter

 

“The venue owners love Brad”
-Beth Willis, booking agent
