Power Acoustic Rock
"If you love acoustic guitars, great lyrics, and an uncompromising attitude toward the quality of music being written and played, then don't miss Friday's Child.

They also have more instrument endorsements, due to their skill and playing and writing, than any three major label bands combined.Best to start with their live album and work your way backwards. You won't be disappointed."

Click here to read Jim Abbot of the Orlando Sentinel's article on Friday's Child, relative to the band's 2005 appearance at the Florida Music Festival. "Here is an album that music lovers have been waiting for. The "In A Word" album reflects Friday's Child songs, combined with a smooth transition to the new lineup. Tom's lyrical style is surreal. This makes you think, and it is combined with fantastic melodies. Forceful vocals and the best musicianship have made this project a success. Friday's Child will be a force to be reckoned with within the music industry." December 16, 2004 DJ/Producer Bert Gagnon The Songwriter's Network CyberstationUSA.com (10 million on-line listeners) FIVE STAR AMAZON FAN REVIEWS "They're a great band, what more can I say. This is another great CD, after 'Boy Without a Name' , 13 and their Live CD. They're raw and have a lot of energy. The songwriting skills of Tom Walker are probably one of the best out there..... pity that the mainstream media has missed out on this great band. This band is what the music scene needs today." Great Band, September 2, 2005 Reviewer: M. Muhsin (NJ) "Finally there's a new band that can actually write songs! I got this CD about a week ago, and I haven't stopped listening to it. Most of the new stuff out there sounds the same not only band to band, but song to song. These guys have a unique sound as a band. It is acoustic guitar driven, but very powerful. Sort of a stripped down Dave Matthews Band vibe with a harder sound like early Live. Each song is unique as well. There is obviously no "formula" these guys use when they write. You have a song like "Flypaper" that has a bouncy, raw sound, "Lions Fall" that is majestic and moving and "Blood Moon" that has a "poppy" feel, just to name a few. They have a couple earlier CD's that I just ordered. I can't wait 'til they arive." Great New Band!!!, August 18, 2005 Reviewer: Big Jonesy	"The boyz from Jersey were back in town, and rocked out live in the studio once again. They busted in with a healthy dose of new tunes, and a few of their old rockin' classics. Their new acoustic set showed these guys can't be pigeonholed. Always a favorite with the listeners, TOM WALKER, RICK IPPOLITO and DAVE DRZEWIECKI always lay down a solid, tight show. Look for their new cd, coming out soon!" Review of 6/7/2003 Live Performance, CyberstationUSA.com "Friday's Child... The Myth. The Legend. The Band." Bordersstores.com Events Page, © Copyright 2002, Borders Properties, Inc. "Friday's Child recently performed on the Songwriters Network, an Inet radio show on Cyberstationusa.com...Friday's Child's performance on our show was stunning....unbelievable sounds, smooth riff's, dynamic lyrics, complicated chord structures that would please the most discriminating ear..Tom Walker sports a Taylor guitar that sings and comes up with an acoustic sound that I have never heard anyone else do...together with Rick Ippolito (bass) and Dave Drzewiecki (drums) the trio has a powerful sound that rocks tremendously. Their two cd's "Boy Without a Name" and "Thirteen" are a piece of excellent work. Rock-Art is probably the best characterization for this group as they have worked in art with their rock at an extremely high level. As I can go on about this group, I will end this review with the following thought: Get their cd's now!!!! and definitely go see their gigs as they will truly entertain you... Best Wishes for this group as they will go far in their music." Bert Gagnon, Creator/Producer, CyberstationUSA.com, Songwriters Network "Friday's Child is an eclectic rock band with a strong Borders following. This is their sophomore endeavour, and we just love them! They have and old school 'modern rock' feel about them, and it really comes through live. Track #1 is a cultural ' jab.'" Borders Books and Music Listening Post Review, Massachusetts Region © Copyright 2001, Borders Properties, Inc "Of all the band's I've heard, Friday's Child's music is the most universally accessible. Great music. Great lyrics. No pretension." Alan Nuñez, Community Relations Coordinator (1995 - 1999), Borders Books & Music "High-powered and eclectic, this musical trio has taken the New York scene by storm, inciting rave reviews and cultivating an ever-growing fan base...The sound is stripped down to the essentials with just the right amount of melody and brutal reality." Terry Lagerstedt, The Fairfield County Weekly "It won't take you long to understand why Friday's Child has become one of the most loved bands in the area. With incredible energy, memorable lyrics, charm and charisma, the band delivers their powerful sound, effortlessy creating a relationship with any crowd." Anne Stanton, Community Relations Coordinator (1996 - 2000), Borders Books Music & Café, Stamford, CT	"One of the best albums in a long while..., January 22, 2001" "Friday's Child is a wonderful and unique band that have a lot of energy. They write original, good music and heart felt lyrics. I just ADORE this band to death. Ever since I discovered them, I haven't missed a show. The album is awesome as well. It's one of the best I've heard in a long while--adding diversity and originality to a time when, sadly, others sell out. I guarantee you'll LOVE this album!" "I can't begin to say just how much I love this CD...these guys know their instruments, have great voices, and a ton of energy! I've seen them perform many times at the Garden State Plaza, and every time, I love them more and more. They write good music that people can appreciate and are a true treasure in today's world of 'lost music'." "If you like Dave Matthews or Billy Joel, you'll love Friday's Child. I've had this album for quite some time and have never tired of hearing these songs. Tunes like 'The Path' and 'Icon' have become the soundtrack to my life. 'North By Northeast' is an amazing number. I've witnessed Friday's Child play this song live at the Baggot Inn and the Lion's Den in NYC and it's flat-out incredible. The way these three musicians handle their instruments is nothing short of genius. One final note - Friday's Child have recently released a six-song EP entitled '13' that's just as masterful as this one. "	Original Sound!!!, January 14, 2001 Reviewer: John Bennett from Carver, MA USA "It's so nice to see a band creating their own sound! With harmonious chord progressions and intriguing stories behind every song, this cd has more emotion behind it then practically my entire collection. I would recommend anyone who enjoys wonderfully played acoustic guitar, and creative mind provoking lyrics to purchase this cd. These guys are going far, I'm glad I got to see them at a small performance while I still can! " Fantastic! June 13, 2000 "I think this is the best work they have ever done." NEXT SUPER TRIO!, April 21, 2000 Reviewer: A music fan from NYC AREA "One of the most exciting CD's I have ever heard from a band that no one has ever heard. MTV watch out! Here comes Friday's Child." 13 proves to be another artistic success for Friday's Child, March 22, 2000 Reviewer: A music fan from New York City "Friday's Child rocks - period! Why aren't these guys signed to a major label? Intelligent and playful lyrics combined with skillful musicianship makes this trio a band to watch! They also have a full length album called 'Boy Without A Name'."
