Here are some nice reviews:
Matthew Murphy
This was not so much a concert as two gentle and feeling souls sharing their lives through music with the audience … It was simply a wonderful and moving evening.
Grady Poe
Grey Larsen and Cindy Kallet, two masterful musicians and music creators have come together in a truly magical live concert collaboration where unbelievably, the whole is actually greater than the sum of the two parts. I witnessed this first hand at a house (barn) concert in Prince Edward Island. The musicians’ obvious warmth and respect for one another overflowed and touched us all. The music, old and new, was full of nuance and grace. It deeply touched the essential humanness in all who were present as evidenced by all the great beaming smiles and buckets of enthusiastic applause. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a special experience.

Cindy Kallet and Grey Larsen are exquisite musicians and gentle souls, both of which make for a wonderful evening of music. The gifts of their writing, arranging, and exceptional instrumental talents combine with a genuine warmth and charm that leaves an audience walking away smiling, uplifted, and humming a tune.
Wayne Beach
We were delighted to host a house concert featuring Cindy Kallet and Grey Larsen in Maine this past spring. It was a splendid afternoon and the music that was made that day is fondly remembered by the sixty people that filled our living room … Cindy and Grey make a wonderfully versatile and harmonious combination … Cindy joined Grey in some duets on the fiddle – and these numbers were unexpected delights. If you do not know their music, please get to know it. And do yourself – and your friends – a favor by bringing them to your area for a concert. Their music is very special.
