"Jesse's performance at our 2011 Concert Series was exceptional.　 He and his band were professional in every way and were well received by our audience.　 It didn't take long for the crowd to be on its feet, clapping and enjoying his upbeat show.　 It's rare that an act appears two years in a row at our Concert Series, but I'm bringing them back in 2012 to perform the material from his new One Step Closer CD"　 -- Ray Lavey, Music & Entertainment, Bristol RI 4th of July Committee

"Jesse and Jack Gauthier not only sing from the heart to reach the heart of the audience, but also provide a poignant model of the power and possibility of father-son mentorship.　 They have a very special chemistry that touches all who meet them, and when they start to play music and sing, it's hard not to smile inside!"　 -- Linda Marks, Board Co-Chair for Boys to Men New England

 "...take notice of this young man's gift. This disc is loaded with infectious folk/Americana/country-pop. … He has the voice of an angelic choir boy and croons about love.　 He delivers the perfectly crafted tunes and the accompaniment lifts him higher on the musical scale..."　 -- John Fuzek / Motif Magazine: Roots Report
