At the time that I saw John I was attending the Calgary Folk Music Festival (July 27-30). I've got to say that John was one of the best if not THE best 'tweeners I saw at the festival. When I went to see your concert on Sunday at the Mercury stage I was completely blown away! The emotion and passion that he puts into his music creates a truly magical experience! Thanks for having such a passion for music and being truly awesome at the fest, it helped make this year's fest a fantastic one! (P.S.~ I really loved the Ray Charles cover of "Hallelujah, I love her so").

Saw you at the Calgary folk festival and found your music and voice to be awe inspiring. I also thought your bringing some awareness of some social issues to a city where people like to bury their heads in the sand was wonderful. Thank you for a great experience(one of the few at the festival this year).

Saw John at the Calgary Folk Fest between some "bigger" name acts. I got to say you were the best. Totally blew away the rest. Thanks forthe great performance.

I heard you sing one song at the Vancouver Island Music Festival and that one song made the whole festival worth it. Wow, what an instrument you have, I have to say it is THE sweetest voice I have ever heard. Thank you for sharing it.

John,
I saw you Saturday Night at d.b.a. You blew me away. Your heart and soul have a perfect instrument of expression in your voice. You are a gift to all of us...I was so touched, that you gave me your CD gratis and told me to check out others at Louisiana Music Factory. I'm buying the whole lot now.
Best, Ansu

John, you, sir, are the most talented vocalist in country. Your voice carries the heart of our city. I cannot tell you how moved I am when I hear you perform live. You are blessed. Thanks for sharing your talent. I am going to purchase Jambalaya tomorrow at the Louisiana Music Factory.

The voice, incredible; the lyrics hit home, especially "Breaking Down the Door"; the musician's fantastic. First time I heard of John Boutte' was on a Bose System at BJ's and Sam's Club that my wife bought for me Xmas. Now that I can listen to the music at home all I want to know is when a performance will be scheduled in the Atlantic CityNJ/PhiladelphiaPA area so I will be able to see a legend in person.

From FOX News 'FOX411' newsletter, 10/09/2006 If you're a fan of Annie Lennox's song, "Why," check out a new version by John Boutte on a marvelous new album of gems by the New Orleans Social Club called "Sing Me Back Home." Also worthwhile and hum-able: "Look Up," by Irma Thomas and Marcia Ball. g g@nospam.com

John, I had the awesome opportunity to work with you on Stage 5 at the Calgary Folk Music Festival. To be able to watch you up close participating in a workshop with several other musicians was amazing and I was truley blown away by your talent and your kindness to your audience and all of us crew members backstage.

Hey John, it was wonderful to see and hear you again, it's been too long! One of the best memories of my trip to NOLA a few years ago was meeting you and Todd and what a treat to have both of you here finally. You truly are an inspiration my friend. Hope you enjoy the disc I gave you and I look forward to seeing you again..hopefully sooner. If you run into John Fohl, please send my regards.
All the best.
