"No War is a very well produced
album with the perfect amount of layers to keep listeners involved, and
not get them lost within the songs. Gentry
Bronson provides great piano work and melody lines reminiscent
of Leonard Cohen and Billy Joel, taking from great
collections of piano rock."
- Damon Kellard, Bryan Farrish
Radio Promotion
"From the heights of the
independent music scene comes someone to get excited about: Gentry
Bronson!
Like a modern-day Billy Joel
with a flair for the alternative, Gentry's
music
is refreshingly vibrant and exciting every step of the way. His talents
and his
energy are obvious from his piano playing to his songwriting to his
presentation of his material. It's clear Gentry Bronson is doing what
he was
meant to do with his life. . . entertain!"
- Sheila Kirsten Hughes, Nubzilla
"Something
magical happened in Albuquerque in June of 2006. Two disparate
musicians met each other more or less by accident. Pianist Gentry Bronson was a pop singer from
the Bay Area - while harpist Dave
Hoover from Albuquerque was a musical maniac with a penchant
for playing any instrument he could get his hands on. The result
is a record called Santa Fe Sky. While it
might be easy to dismiss a record like this as
another "New Age" record, the speed with which it was recorded, the
serendipity of the meeting of these players, and the
soulfulness of the performances point to a music that is just as easily
informed by punk rock, jazz, and Americana musics that suggest no
simple comparison."

Mexico Bands
"Gentry
Bronson can see the
future of the music
business, one in which he hits it big without selling his soul to a big
recording company."

Dan Fost,
San
Francisco Chronicle
"Gentry's music
covers the waterfront of beautiful losers and missed connections. His
work is more generally accessible, though, even though it weaves in and
out of traditional singer-songwriting, jazz and blues."
- Mperia
"Gentry
Bronson, a new performer to Bread
& Roses is a gem, an
exceptional
talent to entertain and
represent Bread
& Roses.
I wish I had the correct words to tell you of his talent and his
dramatic skills as he sings and plays the keyboard and captivates his
audience. He isn't just singing and playing, he feels his music,
his arms and hands wave, flinging in the air gracefully. The
audience seemed under his spell."
- Lucia
Whitney, Bread & Roses Producer
"Dave Hoover teams up with
pianist Gentry
Bronson for a
set of leisurely, generous, and altogether wonderful duets I think you
will find ideal for meditation, movement, healing, or just plain easy
listening. These musicians seem to know how to work with each
other almost intuitively; each gets his solo rides for sure, but each
also drops back to let the other guy shine. This is sublime
stuff, and quintessentially New
Mexican."
- Robert Sundes,
from "Ostara,
The
Metaphysical Music Man", 5th
Edition
"Gentry
Bronson is
able to achieve the pinnacle of
pop song craftsmanship with the narrative ballad form, each song
offering the
voice of a man stripped of pretense and offering forth the rawest
universal
tales that anyone could relate to, while retaining his personal
ownership of
each song. Like Wilco’s “Yankee Hotel Foxtrot", Bronson lays it on the line with
every word he utters while seated in
front of his piano, his fingers rolling deliberately across the
keyboard as he
sings. In addition to talent and skill, Bronson also has
vision, and a certain kind of wisdom that comes forth whenever he sits
down and
begins to play."
- Gregory J. Pleshaw,
New Mexico Art News
"The
Night Watchmen's
music is great. Vocalist and songwriter Gentry
Bronson fronts the band and their release
Lost
in California a mix of Americana and
alternative rock with a creative twist of cabaret. The
songs have lyrics that are very evocative."
