Nelson

| Alex
Nelson stuns his listeners not so much as if he’s
reading their minds but rather knowing their hearts
without the usual smack of melodrama that tends to accompany
music of this genre. “We all play scenarios of
things that have happened or could have happened if
we had just said something different or reacted a different
way.”

Matt
Butcher
|
“From the first notes of the
opening track, Butcher
sets a somber and introspective mood. With atmospheric
instrumentation as spacious as it is unobtrusive,
the songs are propelled by Butcher’s lyrical
delivery- which, though still possessed of a powerful
melodic sense and a little bit of alt-country twang,
is less concerned with getting you to sing along that
it is getting you to pay attention.” -Orlando
Weekly .

Pulley

- Sean Daly, The St. Petersburg Times
“Rebekah
Pulley is a Florida treasure... impossibly sweet
voice, perceptive and penetrating songwriting, and
tasty band and arrangements” - Randy Wynne, PD,
WMNF.

Florida. The new release has nine original tracks
