PRESS QUOTES "Chris Naish is singing the Christmastime blues. Like many other Calgarians, the local songwriter is trying to make the holidays less stressful." Click To Read Article The Calgary Sun's: 24 HOURS December 2008 "I liked what Chris Naish's Never Stop EP delivered up on my musical plate. 8.5 stars out of 10!" Click To Read Article THE CD REVIEWER November 2008 "Folk singer Chris Naish's fans bombarded us with e-mails so we brought him on the show and he lived up to the hype." CITY TV CALGARY January 2008 "Chris is a charismatic young performer who projects a warm, rootsy vibe in his singing, his playing, and in his between song banter. He had the audience won over by the 2nd or 3rd song." ROLI MACK of BANDWARZ January 2008 "Depression Helps Songwriter See The Light" Click To Read Article THE CALGARY SUN December 2007 "Chris Naish Takes Lo-Fi Route To Success" Click To Read Article THE CALGARY HERALD December 2007 "I'm inundated by his fan base: 'Play Chris Naish! Play Chris Naish! Play Chris Naish!' I go to my e-mail and there is 15 in there every day. He's a good local artist and it shows he has a committed fan base who are tech savvy." FUEL 90.3FM PROGRAM DIRECTORDecember 2007 "Channeling a little Dylan and some carefully dispersed spirituality into a raggedly warm, one-man, one-guitar recording whose appeal lies in it's simplicity, Chris Naish served notice that some of Calgary's better young folkies are the ones clamoring for the least attention" BEATROUTE - Alberta Roots Round-Up Decemember 2007 "Chris Naish is one of those passion-first, iron-out-the-details-later singer/songwriters who can lay down a low-budget recording knowing that it actually suits, even enhances, the plaintive one-guitar sound he's going for. Those who hear Dog In Bombay won't find it hard to believe that Naish draws from the likes of Bob Dylan and Shane MacGowan. Funny thing is, in doing so, he actually comes off more like an early 20-something Paul Westerberg, which, for any Calgarian dropping a debut CD, ain't a bad comparison to earn." BEATROUTE May 2007 "Now this is local talent at its grass roots. Just Chris and his guitar, and the occasional tambourine. A self-recorded and promoted project, Chris blends rhythm and blues with some Johnny Cash like vocals on songs that don? pull any punches. Some interesting guitar work here, and some good potential." CITY LIGHT NEWS April 2007 "Chris makes his guitar almost talk in the songs with his fine playing. I also liked his harmonica playing that's found a lot in track 2- "Take Those Coins". The song that sticks out the most, mainly because of it's lyrics, is track-7 "Matches In The Dark" a very poignant 8 minutes+ guitar ballad. Chris' vocals are a little rough around the edges but are oozing over with passion. You can tell that these are not just mere words but emotions bursting out of his heart." CHRISTIAN ROCKERS ONLINE January 2007 "Musically, I can certainly hear his professed influences of Lou Reed and Bob Dylan, both great poets, and Chris certainly does them justice with his own compositions."
