--"Reminded me where I came from as an artist. In a very humane way. Much love."
--"Vashon....tonight you not only impressed the hell out of me with your energy, but you inspired me with your humanity as well. Beautiful island and people. Such a great night. Shout out to Blueberry Frousting, Madeleine and Julia, Pensive Apocalypse and Peter Evans for sharing the stage with us. Very talented group of musicians."

Zach Quillen, Manager, Macklemore LLC
--"Sharing the Stage is a great project. It respects and supports kids’ passion for music. If they’ve asked you to headline a show, our experience was that the producers do exactly what they promise and go overboard to treat the artists exceptionally well. Best wishes to them."

--"We're really stoked to be a part of this. It feels like something meaningful and important to us for real, and being a sounding board for them providing constructive criticism is something we wish we had access to like this when we were younger."

Edie, age 6 years old
--After the General Mojos' show, Edie's (age 6) dad wrote: "Thank you for organizing this show. My kids had a great time, and it prompted a conversation with my older daughter where she asked me if the kids onstage [the student opening acts] had really written their songs, and it got her wondering about writing her own songs someday. It was super cool to see Edie so inspired by the show."
