“Just want to say that I think the CD is FABULOUS!! Great style and professionalism - and of course, an amazing voice! WELL DONE. What a terrific result for 3 years labor.
All the best to you with it and for any and all others that will be birthed along the way.”

“Teenage musician garnering accolades.”
“... he’s possessed of a clear, unforced singing voice,
a smooth and mature performance style and plenty of charismatic presence.“
“Cloverdale’s Joe Given is making waves with his mature style and gift for song ... It’s not hard to see why singer-guitarist Joe Given draws attention wherever he sits down with a microphone and one of his prized Gibsons. ... his upbeat music - both originals and covers - crosses a lot of boundaries, from pop-rock to jazzy tunes, from folkish-sounding songs to a bit of Mowtown. ... While he has a loyal circle of school friends who come out to ... his coffee house performances ... - also has older generations sitting up and taking notice. It’s no wonder he was a crowd favourite at last year’s
successful Vintage Affair wine-tasting fundraiser ...”
