Michael Rudd

"... sophisticatedly charged... a bit of desert rock. A hot, dry, potent and ominous prickle of danger. His voice perfectly suits the genre since it waves and changes shape like a dune... There’s a delicacy to Rudd’s composition and he exudes this with finesse." - Americana Highways

"Michael Rudd creates emotional landscapes in his songs... a gem, full of grit and longing, insight and inquiry into the things that make us human, providing a glimpse into stories that anyone can relate to. The music that he uses to further tell the stories is rich and full." Amplify

"Michael Rudd guides the songs, connecting the diverse sonics of each cut with a deep vocal that demands attention with its confidence. Sonically, the sound of Going to the Mountain is a reflection of the Southwest desert that Michael Rudd calls home. The melodies are mysterious, the playing subtle as it drifts across the open space of the sparse background of guitar, bass, and drums along with the gentle touches of keyboards and other instrumentation."
