"Wood is on his way to establishing himself alongside the Canadian royalty of artists such as Sexsmith and Wainwright. " - EXCLAIM MAGAZINE

Melissa McClelland - "It is the timelessness and sheer beauty of McClelland’s voice that holds our hand throughout her spectacular 2009 release "Victoria Day", courting us with the colour of its countries. Beyond the vintage guitar tones and retro feel of the album, it is Melissa’s classic, ageless, brazenly genre-flouting voice that enraptures. Her impressive on-stage backing vocal history attests to this pure talent; Melissa has been invited to sing with Jesse Cook, Sarah McLachlan, and Luke Doucet, and was the single guest vocal appearance on Blue Rodeo’s lauded Live at Massey Hall (2008)."
