“You did a beautiful job with 1-800-CONFESS. Quite an homage to SAMW and the whole camp scene”—David Roth, (www.davidrothmusic.com).

"Your CD has been living in my car, ready whenever I need a chuckle. I'll be having another colonoscopy, it seems, according to my doctor's schedule. I'll be humming your tune. And I just had some gumline surgery yesterday -- any songs for that?"--Joel Mabus, (www.joelmabus.com).

"Mike passed silly a while ago.  His sense of humor will biff you upside the head like a nerf bat."—Randy Browning of Late Bloomers (www.latebloomersmusic.com)

“New England Weather is a large group of folkies who truly love playing music together and for others. It’s a real treat.”--Dick Pleasants, WUMB Radio, 91.9, www.wumb.org, dick.pleasants@umb.edu.

"Just listened to 'Quabbin's Long-Forgotten Grave' and loved it!  The music, the words, the message"--Michael Tougias, www.michaeltougias.com, author of 'Quabbin: A History and Explorer's Guide' and also the national bestsellers 'Ten Hours Until Dawn' and 'Fatal Forecast'.

"Mike is an excellent guitarist, mandolinist and singer, as well as a witty, intelligent songwriter. His songs are often cause to stop and think about the issues he writes about.", Joey Ammo (Joseph Amicangelo), Singer, Songwriter, Guitarist, Artist at SESAC.

"You have a lovely voice", Karen Woodhall, Singer.

"Low Carb" is one of the "best new climate songs", Alex Smith of Radio Ecoshock (www.ecoshock.org).

"Mike is one of best songwriters around, and he is also the host of the tremendous Roslindale Open Mike."--Dan Cloutier, singer-songwriter and host of the Amazing Things open mike.

"Mike is a terrific performer, fun and witty. His message is one that everyone should hear"--Karen Weber, organizer, Boston Green Fest.

"Mike Delaney is the Leon Russell of the 21st century"--Barry Spiro, singer-songwriter.

What "they" are saying about "Boston Harbor: No Longer Dirty Water":

"EVEN though Mike's new CD "Boston Harbor" came to me $1.21 postage due, I figured it was worth a buck and a quarter (keep the change) to see what he was up to this time around.  Thanks to the liner notes I now know what Mike's day job is, but you never ask these questions of other musicians when you see them.  You just listen to the music (he's a fine and prolific songwriter) and take it from there.  Mike is always someone I'm interested to hear.  With this disk I continue to be.  I've got three more words for Mike: "Weigh the package".--David Roth, www.davidrothmusic.com, fantastic singer, songwriter, performer, and inspirational humanitarian.

"When Mike Delaney is not busy making the Boston Harbor safe for all the various gilled and finned creatures and swimmers and making sure the water that comes to your house has nothing other than water in it he is busy being a pretty darn good songwriter and performer. Mike's new CD "BOSTON HARBOR: No longer dirty water" is my favorite of his so far.  Some of the songs are very touching and some are very funny.  Mike is a great parody writer, but his serious songs are great as well.   Mike also covers some nice songs on this CD. I am particularly fond of #9.  Go out and buy this recording. " -- John Ferullo, writer of "Harbor Town".

"I got a kick out of your CD very clever.  You’ll have to some sort of MWRA/DCR performance.  Maybe on top of the digesters with your band kind of like the Beatles Get Back roof top performance.--Bill Pula, Superintendent of the Quabbin Reservoir for the Department of Conservation and Recreation.

"I finally had an opportunity to listen to your music on the CD that you left at my office.   Thanks for thinking of me.  I never knew you had "chops".  Nice sound and interesting lyrics.   And I'd be remiss not to mention the powder blue tux.......reminiscent of my high school senior prom.  It's good to know that there are other renaissance guys out there."--Dr. Mark Nankin, Mike's dentist.

"Charlie Button sent me a copy of Boston Harbor: No Longer Dirty Water. WOW! I got such a huge kick out of it. Great job—very clever and a lot of fun. I think “Scum” might be my favorite. All the songs brought back so many great memories. We all changed the course of history, didn’t we? I still use the lessons from my days at MWRA every day."--Elisa Speranza, formerly of MWRA.

"Hey Mike thanks for sending the new cd along. Funny! You're  a very clever writer, as well as a fine player, and your heart is not only in the right place, it's in the right time, too.  We need you!"--Bennett Hammond, distinguished musician, songwriter, and philosopher. Used without permission.

"The tunes are great fun to listen to...I especially enjoyed the cover track (it's so Mike Delaney!) the Eels song (I remember seeing thousands of them crawl up the Lawrence Dam in one great wriggling collumn-like mass when I was a kid), and the MF Daisy cover song, which reminds me (conceptually) of Harry Nilsson's "Think About Your Troubles" which may actually make a good Mike Delaney cover."--Elizabeth Kennett, musician, songwriter, and graphic artist.

"It's really good."--Matt Liebman, U. S. Environmental Protection Agency.

"A chuckle with every track"--Ron White, Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection.

"Your music is unique and paints wonderful images of Massachusetts!"--Frani Halperin, Senior Producer, H2O Radio.

Even more buzz about Mike...

“More agreeable than an electrical buzz from a bad transformer!” --Davis Sweet, the world’s foremost authority.

Quotes for New England Weather (www.neweather.com):

"As we all know New England Weather is notoriously unpredictible and so is the folk band with that name. But it's unpredictible only in its repertoire; they often surprise you. But when it comes to the quality of their rollicking performances, they are not the least bit unpredictible... with them it's always fair weather." - Richard Walton, Stone Soup Coffeehouse (www.soup.org)

"The Inuits have a multitude of words to describe snow. With a language that rich, perhaps my "good mornings" after Salon Sundays could convey what I am feeling. ... "a little slice of Heaven." And I am both deliciously satiated and always yearning for more. New England Weather exemplifies that. The interaction of these people who are so dear to each other, and so steeped in each others music produces a result so beautiful it takes your breath away. Each one brings a unique, unmistakable identity and the rest pay homage with their artful blend of rythmns and harmonies. You almost hated to applaud at the end of a song because you wanted to sit in the afterglow just a moment
Wasn't it Maaavelous?!" - mfdaisy, Salon Sunday (www.salonsunday.com)

"First of all I would like to thank ... New England Weather for a terrific show last Friday. If you have never heard these guys, you really owe it to yourself to track [them] down ... and let them astound your world. Doing originals from as far back as 1400 years ago, [they] take you on a fascinating musical journey covering everything from a mining disaster to a vegetarian killer whale. It is enjoyable, to say the least and is not fattening, however it is habit forming." - Steve Howard, Lyrics & Latte's (www.myspace.com/accidentalsmusic)

"New England Weather is just as described. Able to change in an instant, due to the stellar individual qualities of its members. You don't get one sound. You get old and new original folk, blues and bluegrass - all delivered with an energy that will stand you up." - Susan Irene Master, Musician and Concert Producer

"New England Weather is a group of five talented musicians who are obviously friends as well as music partners. They share a diversity of musical styles from folk music including gospel and world music, to well-crafted original compositions. They perform on a variety of instruments and are known for their fine harmony singing. They have an informal style which immediately makes the audience very comfortable and eager to sing along. Though they function beautifully as a group, each member comes through as an individual, well supported by the others. I look forward to hearing more of their music!" - Ellen F. Schmidt, Musician and Producer (www.ellenschmidt.com)
