“Singer/songwriter Skip Friel uses his ten-track CD, "Twilight Red Sky," to take listeners on a journey down the back roads of Americana. Friel's guitar work is exceptional and the mix is nearly perfect. If radio station The Coast were still around, "Twilight Red Sky" would be a natural for heavy play list rotation.” - Jeff Maisey

“Hundreds of local musicians and fans turned up at the Granby Theater in downtown Norfolk last Thursday for the third annual Port Folio Weekly Local Music Awards.

Acoustic/Folk and Album of the Year nominees Skye Zentz and Skip Friel stole the show with their quirky version of Hall & Oates’ "Maneater," featuring Friel on acoustic guitar and Zentz on ukulele (and decked out in full-on funky Material Girl regalia).” - The Editors
