Thanks to We Write About Music for the awesome review of “Rock-n-Roll Oasis: Live at Tiny Telephone.” It’s humbling to read such complimentary and spot-on words.
Like this…
“Roensch, accompanied by the virtuosic guitarist Jules Leyhe and the ethereal harmonies of Elisa Wendell, creates a sonic atmosphere that feels warm and deeply personal, like a late-night jam session among close friends. The stripped-back arrangements allow every note and lyric to breathe, making it easy to get lost in Roensch’s poetic storytelling.”
And this…
“…what makes Rock-n-Roll Oasis truly special isn’t just the musicianship; it’s the sheer heart poured into every moment. The recording captures the energy of the night and that magic translates into every track. Roensch’s lyricism, shaped by his background in flash fiction and poetry, is vivid and evocative, turning each song into a story that lingers long after the music fades. You hinge on every single word, all the while being more than impressed by the pure artistry that’s flowing out.”
