Ray Pasnen:  Press

Just a few pieces of press from a few different places and a few different times.

From "The Royal Gazette", January 29. 2005  [full article new window]
...This was after all, the Swizzle Inn, and the swizzle, as always, was going down well. That might have been partly due to the live entertainment. Swizzle's occasionally shot-shooting, and always guitar-strumming Ray Pasnen ("the funniest, most entertaining musician in Bermuda") took requests from the crowd and generally kept all in very high spirits... ...by the end of the night, like everybody else, we were foot-tapping and mouthing the lyrics to songs we didn't even know we knew...

Here is an article from Trend Journal, an entertainment magazine in  Germany.  Thanks to my good friend Liz Sklad and her friend, Markus, for this translation.

"Ray Pasnen is a gifted singer and guitarist from the United States who took up the invitation to come to Germany after being accidentally discovered by a good friend of the Trend Journal.  "Live in Bermuda" shows the artist as a brilliant interpreter of selected singer/songwriter titles and classics from 30 years of rock music in front of an enthusiastic audience.  Ray Pasnen's voice and the style with which he uses it is simply phenomenal-with relaxed but always passionate and expressive intensity.  His earlier album, "Human Race," was recorded with a full band and proves that he has also created very good and diverse self-composed pieces with the expressive lyrics and intelligent arrangements.  Ray Pasnen is the best-kept secret for friends of hand-crafted music with "guaranteed goose bumps."  Whoever would like to experience him live, should visit one of his concerts in the region in March."
