This guy believes in his song.

Paul Ford, The Dallas Morning News

The hard hurting freight of life and love live on a solid set of songs on this full length debut.

Steve Leftbridge, No Depression

A hidden gem for the adventurous listener.

Craig Shelburne, CMT

Greg Koons writes beautiful melancholic songs in which he elevates everything he sees.

Moors Magazine (The Netherlands)

Pennsylvania boys got them some songs worth hearin.'

Magnet Magazine, Rome Clay

The story of Greg Koons is particularly fascinating…(his music) is a nice surprise that will not fail to thrill lovers of roots music and American songwriting in general.

Il Popolo del Blues (Italy), Salvatore Esposito

An alt-country craftsman.

The Philadelphia Inquirer

Koons conjures just enough swagger to make his songs believable and more than enough chops to stake out his own claim in the cluttered Americana Landscape.

Charleston Gazette, Charleston West Virginia

Koons's songwriting has a sturdy heart, tackling trauma and lovesickness pretty bluntly..

Lisa Scheckenberger, The Madison Decider

A quietly clever tunesmith with a gift for finding the sad beauty in every day dilemmas and disappointments.

Chris Neal, Country Weekly

A songwriter reminiscent of Tom Waits.
