     "There are a handful of great blues guitarists, and David Lumsden is definitely one of them"

    Bob Leggett, LA Music Critic Indie Voice Blog - 11/23/18

    "Vocally Lumsden is the quintessential blues man with a well lived whiskey soaked voice that oozes years of paying his dues and knowing just what he's all about in a world of want to be's. David's playing as a guitarist is virtuoso with a deft touch that borders on being out of this world"
