Biography:  (Information or description about your Band or CD ) 

“The ethereal vocals of Grace Hearn flow like honey carried along by the exquisite guitar work of Michael Savage, and the result is evocative, sexy and somewhat reminiscent of the Cowboy Junkies. If they sound any where near as gorgeous live as they do on their stellar new CD, then this is one show you don’t want to miss.” Metro Santa Cruz

CD Title: "Weightless"

“Hand to mouth’s songs are evocative and multi-layered, dreamlike in their simultaneous mystery and immediacy, fascinating us by withholding as much as they reveal. Every song contributes a high point to the album; there are no dead spots. Hearn’s and Savage’s flawless and emotional performances hold us spellbound. An outstanding album by one of Seattle’s most accomplished groups.” Victory Review - July 2000 

 “From the syncopated guitar of “Too Complicated” to the eerie piano, vibes, and drums of the title track, each song is distinct, and a pleasure to listen to. Savage’s arrangements are interesting and varied, never relying on the acoustic-guitar-cum-vocalist formula that is so easy to fall into. All fit perfectly with Hearn’s sublime voice and poetic songwriting. The final product is an aural lozenge that is hard to find fault with.” Sounds of Seattle -September 2000

 “...breathtaking use of counterpoint… the vocals and instrumentation are never just miming one another— which keeps things interesting and keeps me coming back to listen again. This has pushed everything else out of my CD player for a while now.” Ectophile’s Guide to Good Music –June 2000

 “This duo (Grace Hearn & Michael Savage) have come a long way. Hearn's voice is sensual and beautiful and Savage's guitar playing is the nearly perfect accompaniment. This is one fine CD." The Folk and Music Exchange September –2000
 

CD Title: "Calling Madalene"

"An extraordinary album of music that draws deep from the wells of Folk and Jazz and creates a meld that is neither. This is a find!" - Chris Lunn, Victory Review

"Savage proves his worth both as a musician and composer. His [and Hearn's] songs are both melodic and insightful." - Dirty Linen
 

CD Title: "Hand To Mouth"

"Hand to Mouth take the listener into a rich and complex world, and the achievement of This is the Place? is that there are no bumps to bring us back to earth" - Folk & Music Exchange

"Michael's exceptional guitar work can be compared to early Richard Thompson or Harvey Reid, and Grace's exquisite vocals provide the punch for this contemporary acoustic sound, rounded out with percussion and lots of moody sounds. This is the Place remains one of my favorite discs." - Robert Curtis, FolkWeb
