What do the fans say…………………
Uplifted my Spirits!! I wanted to thank you both for the wonderful show. It uplifted my spirits and I could see many others around me. From the bottom of my heart, I just want to let you know how much your music, voices and spirits touch all who are lucky enough to be in the audience. Thanks again, we have a couple of CD’s now so we can listen again, and again……….Randi and Art. Nipawin.
See you on stage! “The first time I heard the song “Laura’s Kitchen” I knew Darrel and Saskia had something special. The rest of the songs on this CD measure up to that standard. Heartfelt lyrics, friendly melodies, great vocals all supported by Darrel’s intricate acoustic guitar. Saskia more than holds her own with sensitive electric bass. Their live performance matches the quality of the CD. With the stories around the songs, it all adds up to an enjoyable evening of entertainment. A very comfortable visit to “Laura’s Kitchen”. See you on stage.” -Gary Fjellgaard-
Great Singing & Musicianship. Saskia and Darrel have assembled a great batch of songs on “songbirds”. They’ve obviously put in their time playing together, and it shows on this album; full of great singing, musicianship, and heart-felt original songs. -Steve Dawson-
Catch One’s Breath. Saskia & Darrel: What a fabulous show! Between hilarious stories and poignant song lyrics accented by extraordinary harmonies, there was hardly a moment to catch one’s breath. It was an evening none of us will forget for a very long while! Thank you on behalf of the Anne Murray Centre for an outstanding performance.” -Susan Belliveau-. Springhill, Nova Scotia.
You have music power!! Your music, personalities, talent and presence are unforgettable. You have music power and finally experiencing that power in person will always be one of the highlights of my moments in an audience! Kudos to you both and this website is Awesome!!! Happy Thoughts your way Always in All Ways! Madlyn Andres – Calgary
