about Bill Mize
“Essential Acoustic Album of 2010 (the Angel’s Share)”
- Acoustic Guitar Magazine
“Loaded with memorable melodies and feel... The Angel’s Share proves that it takes more than just great chops to be great - and Mize proves a great song can deliver as well as an overt display of chops.”
- Vintage Guitar Magazine, 2011
“From a technical level, Mize’s playing is absolutely world-class, but it is his diversity and ability to focus on the melody, rather than chops, that really helps his music hit home with listeners. With such a strong background, and incredible new release hitting stores and a musical focus that is rare these days, Mize looks to have a bright future in a tough industry.” - Guitar International (Matt Warnock, 2011)
“A soft touch and heavy groove, combined with an advanced sense of harmony, results in a highly unique and engaging sound.” - Teja Gerken, Acoustic Guitar Magazine Senior Editor, 2010
“His music is all about subtlety and nuance. Listen casually and you'll be hooked. Listen close and you'll be wowed.”
-Wayne Bledsoe, Knoxville News Sentinel
“... you just don't want it to end and when it does there is a sense of satisfaction and the notion that you have just experienced something sublime.” - James Filkins, Minor 7th Magazine
“... An amazing touch, killer tone and a sense of taste that can't be beat."
-Vintage Guitar Magazine
"...Mize's tone is lovely and his technique is state-of-the-art. He
combines form and substance to create music so sublime
and accessible I was almost sighing out loud.”
-Dale Miller, Acoustic Guitar Magazine
"... To call Mize a guitar maestro would be understating his ability
to transport listeners beyond what most guitarists can
only hope to accomplish."
-Stephen Ide of Dirty Linen Magazine
"... Mize's touch is magic. His ideas flow in rapid succession
throughout this acoustic guitar showcase. “
- Bill Milkowski of Jazziz Magazine
