Selected Press for Arthur Godfrey

“Arthur Godfrey is a deeply moving storyteller with a vocal grace and an acute heart.”
Sean Penn, Actor/Director

“Arthur Godfrey’s blues-tinged Americana is raw, honest and intelligent.... there’s no doubt that this is just the beginning.”
Performing Songwriter magazine, 2003

“Singer/Songwriter Arthur Godfrey is carving out a record of achievement in his own right ... his songs are the edgy and true vignettes of his life experiences.”
ASCAP Artist Spotlight, 2002

“Arthur Godfrey plays honest, blues-tinged Americana up there with the best of them. As a lyricist, Godfrey is plainspoken but poetic and his songs call to mind Sprinsteen’s Nebraska ... Representative of the effect of the entire record, the moody, pulsing ‘Corner 5th and LaGrange’ is all sweat, sex and meanness—and it’s irresistible.”
Performing Songwriter magazine review of East Side of Town, 2002

“A mix of Folk and Blues from a passionate soul ... the stuff that a generation brought up on Bruce Springsteen can tune into today ... could be the next great undiscovered Singer/Songwriter.”
San Jose Mercury News, 2001

“His songs cut through the Americana-Blues genre with a knife so sharp it draws blood.”
Good Times, Santa Cruz, 2001
