"Wow man. This is a DEEP record! Best thing my ears have heard in a long time! Acoustic music grounds the soul. The playing and compositions and over all sound - touch and taste are just incredible! A surprise at every turn! Just fucking great Andy and please tell the other guys I send deep respect and appreciation for this music! I smell a Grammy boys! Got my vote!"
- Steve Lukather
"What Andy has put together with this trio is absolutely brilliant! Him, Calum and Trevor mesh seamlessly together and compliment each other’s musical aesthetic perfectly. I always get a sense when I listen to Andy’s music that I’m being ushered along on a euphonious journey and with these three player’s collective creativity on Tripliciti, that couldn’t be more true. Each song evokes such unique visual imagery to where I actually feel like I can ‘see’ the music. The baritone, acoustic and kalimbatar orchestration on ‘Blue Liquid’ sounds amazing and it’s awesome to hear Andy shred some electric guitar on ‘That Old Familiar Pain’ and ‘In Lak'ech! ‘For My Father’ is just so poetically moving and what I absolutely adore about Andy’s artistry. All of the song arrangements on Tripliciti are lush and layered, the compositions are impassioned, the recording is crisp, full and intimate and the performances by all three guitarists is just phenomenal. Love the nod to Michael Hedges as well. Couldn’t be enjoying it more!"

"Hey Brother! Got up early, put on my headphones and went down that musical path which led me to peace, wonder, intrigue, and unexpected satisfaction. A coming together of three musical souls that long to blend, that have found a way to communicate the message of the song. Telling me the stories with no words or directions, just suggestions. Relaxed, yet intense and worldly. Brave yet simple. That's my first reaction. Love you guys!"
- Tommy Emmanuel
