“Satch Kerans is doing his damndest to preserve what seems to have always worked: stories about people in conflict set to familiar melodies and arrangements. On Riverboys (self-released), Kerans doesn’t stray too far from any previously beaten paths, but a certain authenticity in his delivery makes you like him for it all the more. You really wouldn’t want him to be any other way.
DAVID MEAD, AMERICAN SONGWRITER***************************
"...years after settling into an entirely different identity and new set of priorities - reemerges with some of the best songs he's ever written...nodded in sound and temperament to his longtime heroes Bruce Springsteen and Bob Dylan, as well as ex-Dream Syndicate frontman Steve Wynn and Mark Knopfler. At the collection's core (is) a clutch of sturdy melodies and classic pop structures".
JONATHAN PERRY, THE BOSTON GLOBE
