Review - Freshwater Road

"... one of the best I've heard in the steel string world. It's really all about the writing. That is the true art and defines the musician as an artist far above just one that plays the guitar. "
Bill Piburn, Fingerstyle Guitar

“ Freshwater Road is filled with wonderful acoustic tunes…Each piece is lyrical, well-crafted and played with consummate ability.”
Robert Santos, Australian Guitar Magazine

“His melody lines, structures balance and the percussive skills are awesome. His bass lines are top-notch and spectacular. Lucas Michailidis renewing and challenging developments in guitar music sets him amongst the best guitarists in the circuit.”
Henk te Veldhuis, Bridge Guitar Reviews

 “ One thing that distinguishes Michailidis from the plethora of acoustic guitarists is his melodic strength. It's the music, not his technique that catches your ear. He pays great attention to composition, which results in original and often quite beautiful music that avoids the guitar cliché's lesser musicians fall back on. Freshwater Road is full of deep and seductive music- you'll be glad you took the turn”
David Curry, The Canberra Times

“Michailidis exudes an obvious command of his instrument, but also shows that he thinks deeply about his music and guitar playing.”
