   About Skip Friel & The Resonators

The Resonators offer a spirited performance that truly captures the art and joy of music. Skip Friel's 2007 album, Twilight Red Sky, features finely-crafted originals that are uplifting, inspiring, and go straight to the heart. The band is at home in large, festival venues and intimate, acoustic-friendly stages.

Quotes About Friel's Music:

------------Barry Graham, Folk Music Producer WHRV 89.5 FM--------------- "His wonderful debut CD, ‘Twilight Red Sky,’ is full of gems, enabling the listener to truly feel the joy and pain that only a talented singer can convey. There’s a raw emotion to both Friel’s songwriting and performance. I was immediately impressed with the depth to which his music was able to resonate with me. ‘Twilight Red Sky’ is one of my top picks for 2007."

--------- Jeff Maisey, The Virginian-Pilot, January 19th, 2007---------- "Virginia Beach singer/songwriter Skip Friel uses his ten-track CD, "Twilight Red Sky," to take listeners down the back roads of Americana. .... Friel's guitar work is exceptional. His voice recalls the tone and phrasing of Randy Newman, Leonard Cohen and, at times, Van Morrison. The mix of guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, pedal steel and violin is nearly perfect .... If radio station The Coast were still around, "Twilight Red Sky" would be a natural for heavy play list rotation."

-----------Don Joyce, President, Toronto Exclusive Magazine-------------------- "A very talented vocalist with a big and unique voice.”

-----------Joyce Marie Morrin, Promotions Director WRRW FM 100.9------------ "one of the most talented songwriters I have discovered"....."an awesome talent."

-------------Jeff Maisey, The Virginian-Pilot, March 16th, 2007---------------- "Acoustic artist Skip Friel is no stranger to local radio."

--- Phyllis Speidell, Beacon, Compass, Clipper, Currents, June 10th, 2007---- “Local fans should especially appreciate one of Friel’s original tracks, Virginia Beach Blues."

--------------- Bill Bass, Port Folio Weekly, July 10th, 2007----------------- "Things are looking up for singer/songwriter Skip Friel."

- Paul Shugrue, Alternative Music Producer, WHRV 89.5 FM, Dec. 13th, 2007- "Skip Friel is on my list of 2007 Best Local Artists."

NOMINATED: Best Americana Band, 2009 Meona Live Music Awards
