"Reminiscent of many acoustic deliveries, the most noticeable being the subtle bluegrass flourishes and a similar style and approach to that of Irish songwriter Damien Rice, Kasper’s “Flying Boy” is a wonderful collection. Usually I grow tired of the ‘man and his guitar manner of songwriting a few songs into a record, but Kasper’s voice and melodies need little accompaniment, and the deft touches that are present speak loudly even in their quiet tones. Able to evoke ‘60s folk songs and Coldplay-like parallels, all without compromising his unique manner of creation, Kasper is a talent to keep a very close eye on. Aug. 26 at the Kennedy Center."

"Not everyone can take an acoustic guitar and make it groove like a full band, but Philadelphia-based Chris Kasper accepted the challenge—and delivers astounding results. On his latest, the stripped-down Flying Boy, Kasper and his guitar alternately rock out and sing gently, sweetly filling your ears. ...voice and guitar are the stars of the show—and they belong on the marquee."
-Mare Wakefield, Performing Songwriter Magazine, MAY 2007
"On his new CD Flying Boy, singer-songwriter Chris Kasper mixes country and blues into a winning pop collection"
-John Harrington - Philadelphia Inquirer
"signature dreamy acoustic style laced with words worth listening to"
-Tara Murtha - PLAY Magazine (PHILADELPHIA)
"CD with the most plays this month in my little ol' boom box.... Chris Kasper's Flying Boy. The acoustic thing isn't my usual listening music, but this album fit in quite well."
- Anthony Caroto -Origivation Magazine Blog

I have thought for over a year that the pencil drawing of "Drew" in your friends list was Drew Ross and always wondered why his picture was never the same on my home page...alas it is not Drew Ross but yet strikingly similar in appearance
