QUOTESCRITIC'S TIP THE BOSTON GLOBE October 10, 1985“Orrin Star is one of the finest flatpicking guitarists in captivity. He’s kept growing since he won the National Championship in Winfield, Kansas in ‘76, and his wry humor has been honed to razor-sharp.” -----Jeff McGlaughlin MUSIC THE BOSTON HERALD October 3, 1987 “Some of the sweetest rural southern music being made in America today is coming from the fretboards of urban northern musicians. The sound that David Bromberg and Orrin Star created last night at Nightstage may be a thousand miles and a couple of generations removed from the original articles but that hardly makes their music less authenic, or less rambunctious fun.” Both Bromberg and Star are consummate showmen.” -----Daniel Gewertz JAMESTOWN COMMUNITY COLLEGE NEWS “Anyone who can appreciate the work of such artists as Arlo Guthrie and Chet Atkins will find Orrin Star a pleasant surprise.” —Jamestown Comm College News LEFT BANK CAFE “One of the funniest storytellers on the circuit. Orrin is guaranteed fun.” GARRISON KEILOR "Is Orrin Star your real name?"
