What others say about Tobias

‘That track makes Tobias Bader sound like Neil Young has come to the set of “Into The Wild” and has taken over from Eddie Vedder. His voice is also reminiscent of the young Bob Dylan, something that also becomes evident in the opening track “Fly”. ‘  (White Room Reviews)

‘His music breathes the sixties and seventies … Right from the very strong up-tempo opener Fly, Bader captivates the listener …. The excellent repertoire on Rise and Fall hovers somewhere between folk, vintage pop and roots. ‘   (It’s a Hell of a Heaven)

‘Sometimes you hear from the very first notes of a song that it’s just right … this is a classical example of craftsmanship which Bader manages to deliver, founded on “embracing the beauty of natural imperfection” … tasteful and colorful.’ (Altcountryforum)

‘With these six songs he immediately classifies himself amongst the big boys … folk, pop and roots music … apparently Tobias Bader masters it all!’ (CD Review Blog)

‘The debut EP of Tobias Bader contains 6 beautiful songs, it varies in style, but is mainly intimate and melancholy.’ (M podia)
