carl pannuzzo: Press

"Carl writes songs on the sharps of arrows. And when he sings them, they are delivered directly into the heart of people."...(Naomi Edwards)

"There is very little I can say about Carl Pannuzzo that will not come out sounding like he paid me lots of money to say it. So let me just say this, and I'll say it for free: he looks like a normal enough guy, but in fact Carl Pannuzzo is one of the most precious songwriters we have. And just for the record, it was his music that first inspired me to become a songwriter. His songs are the best kept secrets Melbourne has ever had. For his honesty and his ability, he's right up there with the big ones. Years before I knew him, his songs had already seen me through my very darkest nights. His songs become like a set of keys into a whole new house of thought. His melodies lodge themselves into people's heads like inspiring little secrets...and it's all true"...(Clare Bowditch)

Your way to teach feels so happy and easy but you are at all times very focused, full of energy and very professional. For the first time I walked through the airport on my way home and I heard so many sounds like never before. And I didn´t have the urge to buy or eat anything, I didn´t need or want for anything! I was just satisfied! And at your concert, whenever you touch a sound with your voice or your hands it just transforms into something very special and beautiful. I just hope you come back to Europe again next year for more workshops and concerts!”, Petra, Germany
