"...a true underground icon...his recordings are hidden treasures of the Anti-folk community."....ADAM GREEN
"....a unique and talented musician,and everyone should take the time to hear him live...".....REGINA SPEKTOR
"Ish is one of the most amazing and unique artists I know, a true soul-singing star of the underground and unlike anything you've ever experienced. I've been rabidly attending his shows in NYC for ages, you must not miss the rare chance to see him in the UK!!".... JEFFREY LEWIS
"It's a humbling experience to watch a room full of people watch Ish sing. He sings to be heard. He sings as if he is reaching out into the audience to make a connection with everyone who is listening. Ish is one of the purist artistic talents I know and his music lives in a special place for those who know and love it."....TURNER CODY

Great cover design for your new album Ish! Looking forward to hearing it. Also, not taking anything away from Billie Holliday, Lester Young, Louis Armstrong, et al, in my opinion you own 'I Cover The Waterfront'; you've made it yours.
Hey Ish, that are really good news! But is there a chance for a vinyl release, too. Sorry, but i don't like CD's at all. Maybe a limited edition or at least one for me, haha! Take care Sascha
thank you very much :). i'm not sure how i feel about the poem yet. just something i did. i love all of the videos of you singing, they're splendid. i'm alright, could be better. how are you?
thanks for that! It must be my British charm, it always comes in handy! lol! Nan and Matt are playing the Crypt in December which will be soooo great! Hope to see you play in the UK sometime soon too, Kayleigh :)
