Lonestar Stout - Reviews
IRISH MUSIC MAGAZINE
"With an eclectic mix of the music of Ireland and Scotland along with some new works, Jed Marum -- along with Hugh Morrison and Mason Brown -- has produced another must-have collection"
Nicky Rossiter in his review of their latest album, Sands of Aberdeen published in IRISH MUSIC MAGAZINE.
"This album is another triumph for Marum and company."
North Texas Irish Festival
“What sets Jed Marum apart from other Celtic/Folk artists is the performance concepts and delivery he brings to the stage – the historical significance, poignancy and emotion that his songs evoke, in addition to being a great singer and a stellar player. Jed is one of my favorite performers and we are happy to be on board with his Lonestar Stout project.”
- Betsy Cummings, Entertainment Director for the North Texas Irish Festival
