Armand & Bluesology
"Lenchek... is patient... unlike a lot of young fretmen he's willing to let the melody come to him rather than chase it down the street. Even at his most aggressive he plays ideas, not just notes."
- Living Blues"Armand Lenchek plays with a fluidity and grace seldom heard. Here is a guitarist in complete control of his instrument."
- Music Monthly"Armand Lenchek... probably the best thing to happen to blues since Anson Funderburg."
-Blues Notes, France"Armand Lenchek... an excellent guitarist well schooled in the electric blues tradition."
- Giornale di Sicilia, Sicily, Italy"Guitar work that will make your speakers rattle and your feet move."
- Blues Review"'Everything I Need' grabs your attention on the first go-round then just keeps sounding better with each listening. .... It will put Armand's name on the charts. ... His writing and playing both portray a wealth of talent. ... This one needs to be on your shelf."
-Tom Carter, Music City Blues"That wailing guitar touches my innards. This man demands attention, and he's got mine."
-MER, Twelve Bar Rag"Armand's vocals are real similar to Clapton, but the guitar work is raunchy!"
-Suncoast Blues Society"Intricate guitar playing... a prodigy-like talent. Lenchek's vocals are full and rich, with a gutsy edge, and he knows how to make the guitar sing. Armand... shows the world he is a star that must be reckoned with."
-The Critical Review"Smooth vocal transitions will remind you of Clapton... superb."
Anonymous Blues Fan"Armand & Bluesology are standing at the forefront of rockin' blues and innovative approaches that will take the genre into the future. ... Smooth guitar, tasteful arrangements and subtle vocal structures make 'Everything I Need' a gem. ... Look out!"
Mark A. Cole"One of the most respected musicians on the North Carolina blues scene. He is as tasteful a guitarist as can be found anywhere. He always seems to find just the right note and never tries to overwhelm the listener with needless flash."
- Elliot Crews, Up & Coming
