"A Genuine Showman!"
"Herky is a genuine showman who is in touch with his audience from beginning to end... (he) is also a great musician who skillfully plays his guitar while his lyrics hit their target on every line, sometimes funny and sometimes thought provoking. By the end of the show you leave feeling more like you have just been to a party, than to a concert."
Norm Johnson, Pegasus Coffee House - Bainbridge Island, WA
"Another Great Night at the Prickly Pear!"
"Another great night at the Prickly Pear Cafe! Herky Cutler was the feature performer and he kept the crowd smiling from beginning to toe tapping end. His stories were heartwarming and funny and his musicianship shone through. Including the audience in a number of songs ( like the chicken clucking ) kept everyone engaged and laughing. All told Herky provided a very entertaining and enjoyable night of wonderful, original, folk music the way we love to hear it performed."
Bruce Dynes,The Medicine Hat Folk Club - Medicine Hat, AB

"...he impressed and bedazzled the percussion-wielding audience..."
"The night, full of exuberant fans thirsty for the musical bliss that is Herky Cutler's art, were pleasantly surprised as he impressed and bedazzled the percussion wielding audience. He played songs like The Weight by The Band and Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison with amazing energy and enthusiasm. Let us not also forget his backing band consisting of the opening musicians for that night and the sound guy, taking residence at the side table and performing what could be regarded as the quintessential cowbell solo in the history of The Mandolin Cafe. We thank Herky for coming and playing and hopes that he comes back soon!"

Jeff Lawrence - Airdrie, Alberta
"...a remarkable experience!"
"I saw the soul of the man as he performed in front of friends, family and people off the street. He had us laugh often, brought us to tears (3 times) as he told us stories about his family, aboriginal people he had met, at risk youth he had worked with, and much more. I love how he plays his guitar and harmonica but mostly it was about his story telling and a glimpse into his soul as he performed his own material. A remarkable experience."
Mike Bradford, Montreal, PQ
