Comments from people who attended Art of Sound in the past:

"I just wanted to drop a quick note and say that my husband and I really enjoyed our day in Shelby.  We are big fans and supporters of many of the artists who performed (and some are clients of mine).  From David Childers & The Modern Don Juans, to the Turnstiles, Tom Eure, Chris Cook, Malcolm Holcombe AND KIM RICHEY!, it was fabulous.  I'm a huge fan of Kim's and I never dreamed I'd finally get the chance to see her live.  She was everything I had hoped for and more.  I was also impressed by the quality of the sound in all the little rooms.  It was just a really sweet, magical day and we hope to return again next year."

"Just wanted to tell you again how much I enjoyed hanging out at the festival last Saturday. You did a great job and I thought it was a success."

"I want to congratulate you on a very successful festival!  I can only imagine all the hard work and the time, effort, energy and heart you and your committee gave this terrific event! As Kim Richey's childhood friend, I drove over to hear Kim play but was pleasantly surprised by the depth and the variety available that day and evening.  We enjoyed several of the performers and I only regret I didn't hear more. I love how you utilized the town square so effectively for the various venues.....great idea!"

"I wanted to thank you for having me as part of the entertainment for this years Art of Sound Festival. I had a wonderful time and really appreciated how well run and organized the festival was From the hospitality of the volunteers and staff to the great stage/sound in the performance area to the wonderful folks who came out to the festival, it all made for a great day."
