August 18, 2008 Best singer-songwriter in Hawaii Respected veteran music writer Derek Paiva and the staff at Hawaii Magazine have named John the "Best Singer-Songwriter from Hawaii." As if the honor weren't enough, the article continues on to lavishly praise John's soulful style. "Cruz is one of the finest contemporary singer-songwriter-musicians you'll hear, Hawaii-based or otherwise. Listen to Cruz's Na Hoku Hanohano award-winning 2007 CD One of These Days for proof. Cruz's honeyed, husky voice is a marvel -- real world honest whether touching on subjects painfully personal or sweetly hopeful. Vintage instruments and recording equipment coat it all in a warm, timeless musical glow. We're serious fans." Click on the link for the full story. |
