"Matt Auten's work is an compelling mix of soothing folk and challenging lyrics. The complexity of his skilled guitar- playing is complimented by cello, hammered dulcimer and guest vocalists, all used judiciously to great effect. Listening to his work is like listening to the mountain streams of his native North Carolina."

"Matt Auten is a gifted songwriter; his melodies are fresh and his lyrics are thought provoking. His influences include the likes of Joni Mitchell and David Wilcox, yet his style is far from mere mimicry. Few musicians are able to so poignantly convey the joys and struggles of the spiritual journey. I highly recommend Auten's music."
