"Loren writes the kind of music that when you listen to it you somehow feel like you're getting a massage. A sweet, gentle voice accompanied by relaxed melodically plucked guitar written by a man with a heart of gold. I've watched Loren play a few times and am always inspired by how effortless the music is." - John Butler "It's not often you see a room as far as the eye can see, full of soft smiling faces, besotted by the sounds of one. Loren's energy effortlessly spills from stage to audience and without knowing it the audience are entranced even before he strikes the first tune. Such unique artistry and I'm so glad artists like Loren exist, they make the world a better place" - Nick Boshier (Lior Management) "Loren is a festival favorite. Live, Loren truely shines. I've seen live shows where people are up and dancing, and shows where there is complete silence as the audience hangs on every word Loren sings. His music draws people in. An audience is captivated by the passion in his songwriting. Songs about his sense of community, world issues, love, and about getting stuck behind oldies driving their caravans around Australia at 80km an hour appeal to all. Loren's rhythm section compliments the music superbly. Beck Flatt is the best female drummer I have ever seen! The possibilities are endless for Loren." - Andrew Orvis (Music Programmer Queenscliff Music Festival) "Loren is an interesting songwriter and a very fine singer, as well as an engaging frontman, and the band is excellent. The drummer in particular is one of the most accomplished song accompanists I've seen in this genre. They are among the best of the crop of contemporary acoustic singer/songwriter acts around the country at the moment" - Steve Barnes (Artistic Director Fairbridge Festival) "In performance and on record, Loren's velvety voice soars across his bands reggae/roots/folk grooves. But what really stands out to me, is that you feel like you're watching and listening to something truly home grown, proudly organic and all mixed together to an old family recipe. It's a lovely thing to experience." - Sibylla Stephens (APRA) "Fantastic artist. Fantastic songs. Amazing voice. It's kind, soothing music. I love the memorable sing along chorus." (review for song Island Man) rating: 5/5 - Ash Grunwald "Loren is the best roots songwriter in Oz. full stop. Love your work lozza!!!" - Whitley Loren is one of my favourite Australian artists. Combining well crafted songs and a beautiful voice and guitar style, it's always a great experience to hear him perform. His songs can move you to thinking of social and political issues, then take you through quieter, more introspective moments and then in an instant he will have you partying. Whether he's writing about family life, darker times, or even old people driving around the country his songs are easy to relate to and instantly appealing. - John Bedggood (Bernard Fanning / Carus / Lior)
