What people are saying about BRENT SHUTTLEWORTH:

“The freshest sound I’ve heard in 10 years…his voice carries the fire and honesty of a Cat Stevens smoothed with the tender nuance of a Jeff Buckley.”

-- Harini Venkatesan, Underrated Magazine

“Brent Shuttleworth's words Guerilla-like its way through ignorance and apathy! He Nader's   the status quo." 

-- Bruce George, Co-Founder of Def Poetry Jam

“Shuttleworth’s live performance displays organically fresh rhythms, which fuse together with lyrics that could eat rust and spit them back out as steel. Shuttleworth’s performance last night at Nectar’s was nothing sort of remarkable.”

-- Mike Lydon, Executive Director of Artistic Talent, Paradigm Cafe
