“a national treasure. Like Bob Dylan or Leonard Cohen, he will smuggle odd wisdom inside handsome arrangements. Like Bill Callahan or Laura Marling, he will conceal his songs’ strangeness in their traditional form. He will keep singing, certain in his songwriting, revered by his peers, even without the luxury of fame or fortune. He will unfurl a thousand perfect lines.” - The Globe & Mail
"a hidden gem” - CBC Radio Q
"Michael Feuerstack’s jazz-meets-post-rock guitar chord voicings and vocal melodies have been hugely influential on my own playing and writing. Full disclosure: I’m lucky to call him my dear friend!" - Lizzie Powell aka Land of Talk
