" Steve - great to meet you - loved your music. Look forward to having you on our radio show sometime soon. Once again - I really enjoyed your music - best thing going at the show!"

Larry/West Coast Live - San Francisco

" Smack into the middle of the evening, just as the ears were flooded by a motley barrage of jazz styles, one suddenly heard the blues. For the folks at the Penang Island Jazz Festival, the 55-year-old American's performance, gruff yet docile, unpretentious yet engrossing, oozed with a sense of that deep original soul scarcely felt in modern music."

Himanshu Bhatt, Sunday Strait Times - Malaysia

" For Steve the train is on the right track and it is going very steady in the right direction. His guitar playing is better than ever, his voice can be compared to James Taylor’s in terms of warmth he also has a similar style of storytelling. The knowledge that the man displays as a guitarist, singer and slide player can be heard and seen at the MusikMesse in Frankfurt. He was in the Netherlands to give a clinic at Guitar Center in Wierden, and hopefully this resulted in an invitation to play at the acoustic festival in Raalte. Don’t let this chance pass. Steve White never disappoints."

Nicky Moeken, Gitaar Plus - The Netherlands

" In more than 40 years of listening to all kinds of music, 15 of them as a professional music critic and journalist I've never heard anyone who fires on all pistons this powerfully."

John D'Agostino

" I thought I'd write to let you know that blues legend Jody Williams tuned in to my show last week [from Chicago] and heard your "Mud Wrestling Team." He called me to say how much he liked it and how impressed he was with your musicianship. I had reminded listeners before I played it that it was one man, one take. Jody thought it was great. You never know who is out there listening to your music!"

Leslie Fleury, Blues Odyssey KSER - 90.7FM

" It's most impressive to see White performing live, to experience him slapping (!) his alternating base with his virtuously acting right hand, to hear him perform folk-blues harmonies with incredible intensity and produce a bass-drum groove with his feet on his custom made stomp-box. White brings across such a superior routine enriched with joy and energy that one cannot withdraw from it's magic. This man plays the strings in a precise and yet relaxed manner and thus embraces his bluesy, rough yet warm voice with the full groove. Harp interludes add further tone color to this charming, original folk-blues that would have definitely pleased John Lee Hooker."

Gregor Hilden, Akustik Guitar Magazine

" I'm planning do to a feature about Steve this year in Concerto Magazine ... I'm very impressed by your performance at the Blues Masters Festival in Austria."

Dietmar Hoscher, Editor of Concerto Magazine

"This musician brandishes his guitar like a hoe as he digs into fertile Delta music with a classic intensity."

Michael Kinsman, San Diego Union Tribune

" White uses the blues as his base. His music is not tied to traditional blues structures, his songs not hemmed by conventional blues subject matter. This travel on the sonic map ensures that the creeping sameness that is sometimes indicative of acoustic blues is not an issue for White. Remarkable!"

Dennis Roger Reed, Folk Works Magazine

"... great raw, funky, blues, and some mighty fine contemporary music as well. Steve plays acoustic blues, slide, harmonica, and all of it with whole lot of heart."

Blue Barry - The Blues Groove, Knoxville Blues Society

"It's not really accurate to call Steve White a group, but he certainly has enough talent for several musicians. He's San Diego's best blues player, his voice is wonderfully versatile, and his rhythm section, which consists of his pedal extremities, is unique."
