“Wren’s voice has more timbre, personality & emotional heft. Quite excellent. The music for “Starlight” is driving and dark, with an energetic baseline and more punctuated guitar, with melodious trumpet and fiddle solos, and the effect is to mimic the wide open spaces and movements of the universe. Everett aims his musical quests for humankind’s meaning to the far flung spaces of the cosmos.”- Americana Highways

“He throws stinging jabs of plucked strings, soaring solos and plaintive vocals interspersed throughout strong body blows of bluegrass, folk, Irish, Tin Pan Alley and old-time music.”- Old Grey Cat

“That mastery comes through loud and clear on Cascades.”- Twangville.com

“Weaving the fiddle like a enchanting spell and the hauntingly emotion driven voice delicately over top.”- Music Week News

Porchlight

“Porchlight … has a warmth and liveliness that draws you in from one story to the next.” – Twangville

“the music is reflective of an artist with poignant story telling skills that reach beyond the heart. Porchlight is a beacon to yearn for — it’s one of the year’s best releases.” –Medium

“At times his vocals are plaintive and sure, weathered and worn, while his songs are rooted in—but not tied to—the music styles of yore, with his prowess on fiddle often taking centerstage.” – Old Grey Cat

…available on ~150 digital platforms, including…

Harrison Town

One of the first tunes I learned and performed on lap dulcimer with my family band. This is the story of a gambler whose fortunes in Arkansas do not turn out so well.
