Wally Lawder's music entices dreamy young "Hippie Chicks" to swoon while stimulating old codgers' memories of sweet assignations at their own "Adobe Cafe." Both of these Lawder tunes have been favorites at GlenWoodStock for several years. Every festival he adds more originals to his repertoire, rejoicing old fans and creating new converts. Wally's commitment to his music and his audience are balanced onstage by his impeccable performances. He knows how to write a song, capture a crowd, and play them both sweetly.” - Jim Coates, Producer

— GlenWoodStock Folk Festival, Glenwood, NM

“Wally Lawder is both a romantic and a social critic, and his quiet lyricism heightened by his gifts as a guitarist gives me great pleasure.”” - Stephen Dunn

— Pulitzer Prize winning poet

An outstanding entertainer. Refreshing, humorous and truly original. One of our all-time favorites.” - Jean Crowell

— Failte Coffeehouse, Hopewell, NJ

“When I first heard Wally, I said, Wow, where has this voice been hiding?  When I got his recent c.d. I said, Wow, more people need to hear this!  When I saw him perform I was taken by his warm delivery of the material and wonderful connection with his audience... Wally consistently delights our audiences and fills our venue with his gift for turning a clever phrase lyrically.  Musically and vocally he sparkles!” - Kim Young
