for the Essential Guide to Irish Flute and Tin Whistle:
"Grey has, through his research, patience, and diligence, completed a work on Irish flute and tin whistle that I feel is essential reading for anybody interested in getting it right.”
- Matt Molloy, Irish Flute player with The Chieftains
for The Essential Irish Tin Whistle Toolbox:
“An essential set of tools for the beginning and intermediate tin whistle player. I highly recommend it!”
- Joanie Madden, whistle and flute player with Cherish the Ladies
for Dark of the Moon, Larsen’s new recording with Paddy League:
“Perhaps because it's used less frequently than the fiddle, the flute lends traditional Irish music a slightly different quality -- more ethereal somehow, more emotive. Paddy League's accompaniment on bodhran, the Irish percussive instrument, and guitar is first-rate, but it's Larsen's mastery of the flute that makes Dark of the Moon a worthy addition to any discerning fan's collection.”
- Frank Lewis, Cleveland Scene
for The Green House, Larsen’s first recording with Paddy League:
“Their playing is both authentic and beautiful, the product of artistic humility and insight. Grey and Paddy have found the perfect balance between maintaining tradition and finding their own unique voice.”
- Martin Hayes, Irish fiddle player
for earlier recordings with Malcolm Dalglish and Metamora:
“There’s a rare grace and beauty flowing… Their music is surprisingly delicate… There’s a feeling of expanse, travel, adventure and discovery.”
- Richard Harrington, Washington Post
“Each member is a virtuoso and polished soloist and extremely supportive to each other’s playing… the album’s strength rests in the delicate, but expressive instrumental interplay…”
- Craig Harris, The Boston Globe
“…hammer dulcimer player Malcolm Dalglish and multi-instrumentalist Grey Larsen have put themselves far above other non-traditional folk music interpreters.”
- Matthew Barton, The Boston Globe
“The ambiance is misty moors and wet, green countryside; the music is stately and beautiful and steeped in quiet reverie.”
- Steven X. Rea, Philadelphia Inquirer
“Everything they play has one thing in common: quality. They are musicians of precision, depth, vitality, passion, and, most importantly, humanity.”
- Daniel Buckley, Tucson Weekly
