Praise for John Fries:

"It would be easy for the EP U.S 50 from New England singer songwriter John Fries to slip into the cracks of that wide genre if he wasn’t such a good guitarists and deeply introspective songwriter."

-Rick Bowen- NoDepression 

John Fries fills his album with a fresh and distinct brand of roots rock that shows he operates on an uncommonly high plateau of maturity and talent as a singer, a guitarist and a songwriter (most of the seven songs address relationships). Deserving of wider attention, this Connecticut-based trio leader sometimes waxes lyrical on his old '62 Hot Rod Stratocaster"

-Frank John Hadley- DownBeat

""Fries has the voice of an old soul.  It's full of experience and stories to tell.  His guitar work is exceptional."

-Chip McCab-  CT.Com

"Forget about pigeonholing John Fries, I've tried. Just when you think you know who he reminds you of, he slips into another groove and you realize he is an original, through and through. I think what you pick up on is this, he has a voice you think you feel like you should know..."
-Ali Kaufman- Sound Waves Magazine
