Frank Maher & the Mahers Bahers
"Considering he's been a stalwart of the Newfoundland music scene for decades, it's rather astounding that this is Frank Maher's first solo CD... This is a great first effort from a master of the button accordion. Let's hope that we dont' have to wait so long for the next one, Frank!"
-Mary DesRosiers
SING OUT!"The sheer dexterity of Maher's accordion skills puts him in a league of his own when it comes to his instrument...With the talented skills of the Mahers Bahers band behind him, Mahervelous is a unique showcase of one of our greatest living accordion players."
-Kevin Kelly
THE NEWFOUNDLAND HERALD
"... really enjoyable romp with one of the Rock's finest .... full of bouncy melodies and quirky humour."
-PENGUIN EGGS (Album Review, summer 2005)
"Supple, good-humoured and just plain fun, the whole effort is pure joy from start to finish, a jolly companion whether you are zipping down the highway or hoisting a few with friends."
-PENGUIN EGGS (Feature Article: "Frank's Wild Years", Autumn 2005)
"Accompanied by a dandy little trio of guitar, cello/violin and bodhran, Maher coaxes subtlety and no small amount of humour from his accordion. He also sings, recites a limerick, plays harmonica and performs a gorgeous cover version of Let me Fish off Cape St. Mary's."
-Patrick Langston, OTTAWA CITIZEN
