| Comments: | Hello to Joey from one of his old high school bandmates! I was in Whistler, BC last week on a skiing trip and didn't realize when the trip was set up that I would miss seeing you guys by just a few days. Hope to catch your show sometime in the near future. Shoot me an email when you get a chance, Joey, and I can put you in touch with Lynn Stump, Tim Greer, Eddie Keifer, and Moon Cox. Good luck and go get 'em! |

| Comments: | I had the pleasure to see you in concert at OPEN MINDS OPEN WINDOWS in Nanaimo February 1, 2008. Excellent music, Thank you. I also enjoyed listening to Joey play Bass for Jim Byrnes, (did they really not practice), it seemed they belonged together. Keep up the good music, I'll be looking for you at all the festivals in the summer on Vancouver Island. Rebecca |

| Comments: | What a great concert you three put on at the Nic last night here in Calgary! We just moved from Toronto and you are our first concert as residents...lets hope all that are to follow are as great as this one was! Marc, your talent is inexplicably wonderful. Joey, what a man! I love it when you solo and what beautiful and unique arrangements you come up with! Reuben, what a gift to find you living right across the street. I couldn't take my eyes off you when you were listening to ('er...feeling...?) the music. Happy birthday to the newest edition to the Atkinson family. Best Regards, Tanya ps. what about 'night creeping' for the lullaby (or creepers or creatures)? |

Soooo--wondering what's stopping you from coming to the Kaslo Jazz festival. Would you consider it if the right person contacted you?? We noticed that on the same weekend as Kaslo Jazz, you're doing a gig in Comox. Maybe Kaslo next year. Love your sound. P'nina and Peter. |

| Comments: | I had the pleasure of hearing the new Trio on Hornby Island this past Saturday, where they were an emergency fill in for the Festival. It was thrilling from beginning to end. Wonderful "first" performance for Reuben. I was without preconceived notions and came away a fan. In truth, the Trio added 9 fans due to that night, our group of 8 plus my husband, who couldn't attend but has played the CD I bought three times over already. Thank you, thank you. |

| Comments: | I first heard the trio at last years PNW DjangoFest. They came in shortly after Robin Nolan's trio. Although I love Robins style of playing, and have great admiration for his skill, the tempo that night, was so fast I felt like I was in the bleachers watching an acoustic drag race. Marc, on the other hand, took me on a musical ramble, that allowed me time to breathe in each note, each nuance, and really embrace the mood of the songs. One of my favourite compositions is "To Hold Awhile" which I would describe as a poem without words. The narrative is right there in the music: all of it original, distinctive and if Django was there he would have enjoyed it too! |

I was hopeing to see if tehre is someway to get some Sheet music, and maybe learn some of your songs, cause me and my friend harry(siegel) Just love listening to you. I am a student of Devons, and I would love to learn one of your songs with him as a "project" or whatever I would call it. Cudos for the most swingin' music around, Ari |

| Comments: | As a financial sponsor of DjangoFest NW, Langley, Washington, I had the pleasure of seeing and hearing your trio at the DFNW this year. Your music was the highpoint of the festival. Although I didn't hear any "Django" music, I did hear a true artist at work. There were many craftmen at the fest, ie, those who would seek to play Django's music faster and better each year, but very few artist, ie, those who actually create music. Marc, you are a true artist and I look forward to seeing and hearing you and the trio again in the near future in our beautiful Northwest part of the world. Best of luck and personal regards, Clint and Wendy Bell |

I have seen you play with The Bills twice: Sisters, OR on 9/11/05 and Bear Valley, CA on 9/22/05--where you did that great thing with the elevator and the 'Tour of the Tiers' above the lobby. You are awesome in this band and I hope to see you in your own band soon. I'd love to hear you play more guitar, as in The Gatlinburg...Incredible. If you're ever back in our neck of the woods, stop in to Sonora Music (Sonora, CA.) and see us!! We'll have a cup of tea... Thanks again for your Honest Accoustic Music. ~Lynn |

The playing and compositions are superb! And Joby did a fantastic job with the sound. Acoustic guitar is a passion of mine and when I find a recording that brings out the best in this wonderful instrument, as this album does, it is like a very rare & precious gem. I'm sure this one will be on high rotation for me for some time. Thanks so much. |

Not that I'm tired of the first two yet but, new is good. In fact I play the second one a lot more than I should. People are beginning to talk. Words like obsessed and stalker keep coming up.

Even better, we get to listen and play with him once a week! Perhaps there should be a couple of MP3 samples on this site. (Also wondering if it's easier to play bass when you're not bobbing up and down on the water). Cheers |

| Comments: | Hi there, I was wondering if I could get a hold of a copy of Loose - "Live and Rugged" and Loose "Low Down Rattles of Rhythm"? I live in Victoria and am willing to pick them up or whatever. I can pay throught credit card over the internet. Or however you want. I just want a copy of those albums! I saw them in Prince George in 1995 or 6 at Other Art cafe. Then again the next year in a church or something I can't remember. Anyways I have a crappy old tape recording of their first release and it just isn't doing it for me. I want the real thing. If you could please help me out in this matter I would greatly appreciate it. Thank You Lee Glasgow |

| Comments: | I saw the trio play the first morning of the Vancouver Folk Fest and it set a magical tone for the rest of the day and the rest of my experience there. Beautiful musicianship, between the trio and the Bills. I bought both CDs and have had them on nearly constant play since. what is an oeille bourre noir? wish my schools taught me french. Marc your personality is infectious, i had to take Chris' sentimental suggestion to check out the website and see what you look like with short hair. on the street where you live, can you see if Chris is practicing? Cheers, Broehe |

| Comments: | My wife and I saw you all over the place at the Vancouver Folk Festival; both with your Trio, and with the Bills. I predicted that two instruments would not be enough for you, and there you were playing amazing piano, as well as tapping percussion beats on whatever you could reach. Your music seems to come from everywhere. Thanks, |

| Comments: | hey guys - i saw you play (a long way from home for me) on a rainy day in vancouver when i was on vacation last early july, and i picked up both your records after your set. i'm not sure how much coverage you have in the states, but i'm spreading the word around here and to all my friends at their schools, from here to california. it must feel pretty incredible to have people enjoying what you love and create in little places you'd never expect. even people across my town coming to one of the gigs i played with my friends in the summertime was unforgettable, so if you ever decide that your influence isn't spreading where you want or that you're going to stop for one reason or another, know that you've made a mark on at least one musician somewhere in the world... can't wait to hear more from you soon~ thanks for the music. |

| Comments: | Brilliant! Pure insperation. I have never been captivated at a perfomance to the point I forgot where I was, until the Marc Atkinson Trio came to play for us on Pender Island, March 8, 2003 - Immersed in the feel of their music, in awe of their technical capabilities, and subtle sense of humour spoken and unspoken - beep beep, its eight o'clock! Looking forward to Marc's solo album too, the notes above the fifth fret - the likes I have never heard. |

And LO AND BEHOLD! It's the same Chris Frye! It's been a long time since the UBC team played that tournament in Manila, but I am so glad that you are still playing music. I am sorry I missed your February show, but I am looking forward to hearing you all live in Toronto the next time you are here. Emily |

The three of you can lay down some of the tightest, most fluid and uplifting grooves I've ever heard live, anywhere. Chris, you are THE consumate rhythm master. Joey, if I were one iota of the upright guru you are I'd die fulfilled, and Marc, very few events in my career are as rewarding as listening to a former student, who has far surpassed the teacher, and taken his love of music to this level of success. Your energy is permeatingly divine...... Thanks guys, and please come back soon. |

Seeing Chris again after five years was exciting.
