There's a great review of Oh Oh in this month's Banjo Newsletter. I've been a fan of this banjo-centric publication for quite a while so am really happy to be a part of it!
some highlights from the article:
"What makes this record a bit different from many other new acoustic and contemporary folk recordings that include 5-string is, this is excellent 3-finger banjo playing (as opposed to rudimentary frailing or picking or strumming). If you go on YouTube and search for Kyle, you’ll discover that he’s a very competent bluegrass banjo picker, as he demonstrates on a couple of standards. While he uses those banjo techniques on this recording, his music isn't bluegrass, and so his playing isn’t either. Fans of Crooked Still, Nickel Creek, Mumford & Sons and other new acoustic and indie rock bands with banjo will most probably enjoy this, which is well arranged and produced. It features Hauser’s vocals, catchy songs, and banjo playing, which is alternately sensitive and robust, and even thrilling."

Had an absolute BLAST this Saturday in Fort Collins debuting "Oh Oh" with Danielle Ate the Sandwich. Danielle was amazing and Everyday Joe's is sure to become my favorite hang when i'm in town. I can't wait to make more music with Danielle and return to Everyday Joe's next month with Sarah Siskand! March 23rd!
As if things couldn't get any better, turned out my dear friends Head for the Hills were headling a sold out show that same night at the Aggie Theater! So after Everday Joe's cleared out, I packed up my banjo and headed over to pick some tunes with my favorite bluegrass band. What a great night, audience and band.
Thanks again Fort Collins, couldn't have had a better introduction and I can't wait to head back next month!
Had a great time playing the bluebird last friday night for faceman's waltz. the waltz is a collaborative effort from a huge number of denver's artists and was a ton of fun.
