CD Baby Review - "Infectious songs created by taking unforgettable lyrics and an honest gritty voice, and placing them over addictive loop grooves. Top it off with some unexpected instrumentation and tasty solos that will keep you wanting more!!"
Jay Sutton, booking agent - "It’s not often that I book an act and enjoy the entire night of music! Usually after just a few songs everything starts to sound the same, but that is not the case with Gimacus Burns. Because he has such a variety of music, I was able to relax and listen to both sets with interest! I was not surprised that he was able to get patrons dancing about when others failed miserably to elicit any reaction whatsoever from listeners."
Chanzilla Multi Media - “There is a mystical irreverence to Gimacus Burns lyrical style. Like the Cheshire Cat or Willy Wonka, but with more mayhem than mischief. Especially with his live performances. If chaos breaks out during a Gimacus Burns show, it will be during this song, on the final chorus, when the fans just can't hold back any longer. There is an evil grin driving this song. Which is why it's one of my favorites.”
Rod Franklin, radio DJ - "Don't miss the original tunes dished out in a fusion of folk acoustic rock and reggae. Gimacus Burns creates a world of often times humorous lyrics complimented by an exciting groove and funky rhythm. You don't want be the last one to hear about him!"
Dean Haakenson, musician - "Gimacus Burns literally stopped me in my tracks with his charisma and originality."
Christina Marie, IndieBlush Magazine - "He has tones of Primus, Cake, and Violent Femmes, and feels like what it might be if an acoustic singer/songwriter vacationed in Jamaica. You really need to hear it for yourself!"
Wiley Coyote Music - “Burns' voice is full-bodied and powerful, yes also sweet and sincere. As you listen to the record and maybe catch a few IG Reels, you get to know him. Seems like a kind, honest fella who it'd be fun to grab a beer with!"
Chan, Radio DJ - “This dude is intergalactic planetary. We often talk about genius minds. We rarely associate genius with hearts or souls. Gimacus Burns has the most eloquently intellectual heart I know of - how he is able to take complex, sometimes overwhelming emotions and put them to song in such heartfelt, often catchy ways is just genius. Genius in that it's blues energy that's beyond the blues genre. The conventions are thrown out the window to find his own expressions of love, life and pain.”
Sam Hathely, writer - "Why is it assumed we only listen to ONE type of music? Why does every radio station play the same music over and over? When I go out for a night of, I get bored after a couple songs because everything starts to sound the same! Then I heard Gimacus Burns. Not only an amazing northern California musician, but also a cool concept in music creation!"
Andriana Weathers, folk artist - "Gimacus Burns is impossible to label. Each song is played in a different musical style and is also performed in ever-evolving arrangements. Special guests have been known to make unannounced visits to the stage but Gimacus can easily hold his own. Rock, Reggae, Funk, Folk, he can mix up an evening like a jukebox on LSD!"
Ryan Messler, musician - "I admire the energy and fun Gimacus Burns brings to the table!"
