"An accomplished guitar player, his lyrics are often intensely personal, drawing the listener into his delicate and thoughtful musings on the meanings, possibilities and limitations of relationships"-Deborah Murphy

Cuff brings a grittier vision of the forlorn than most of his contemporaries, his gruff, atmospheric delivery and keen eye for plotting and detail coloring the low-lit landscapes of the instrumentation.
-B.J Carter (Coastal Journal)

"His lyrics are beautiful in their poetic renderings - he captures the emotion of the moments in every stanza... "
-Stephanie Edwards (Connecticut)

"A deep base and appreciation for roots blues... candid and poetic lyrics over beautiful guitar work...songs range from folk to soul to blues...with his own personal style. There are no cliches peppered throughout, no wasted words or useless swooning. He brings an idea to the stage and makes certain that the audience doesn't leave without it."
-Avie Stilton (Boston)

"The gentle piano accents and comfortable harmonies that flesh out Cuff's"Pretty Floor" attest to the strength of the trio's unforced collaboration,while a blusier side emerges in "Frying Pan," with a surprisingly gritty hint to Haggren's lines complimenting Cuff's darker sentiments. Unaccompanied, Cuff's smokey solo vocals rest atop his easy strumming and picking in in the cruisey "Nothing Yet" and the more subdued "Fib."
-Elizabeth Lardie (Times Record)

"extraordinary talents. But when they sing together about love, when they tell authentic stories about feelings, then this gives you even more. It touches the listener deep in his heart. You feel like having experienced all these stories, and therefore nodding your head. ... How can someone define the music of Indienational? A symbiotic relationship of harmonic tones and calm sound. Dreamy. Thoughtful."
-Sarah Jane (Bad Zalsuflen, Germany)
