Roger Levesque, host of CJSR's "Planet Shift" and reporter for the Edmonton Journal did an article for the Journal on the CD Celebration for "Slow Burn Avenue".

Here's what he had to say:

"To these ears, Northrup's songs offer an insightful depth you won't find with most up-and-coming songwriters who can get lost in penning love songs.

Despite it's dark material, 'Slow Burn Avenue' sparkles with energy and sincerity."

David Crosson - Editor of "Outlooks" magazine has this to say about the album:

"with thoughtful folksy lyrics and tight musical performances, this album crosses a number of genre boundaries smoothly and successfully. With "Slow Burn Avenue", his debut CD, Northrup is seeking to expand the scope of his core audience. And there is no reason to expect that he won't succeed."

"He's Bruce Springsteen with 'fag' on his t-shirt; Bob Dylan with a shrunken hypothalamus. All I know is that I've been converted: even on first listening, this CD got my head bobbing like one of those spring-necked animals that reside on the dashboards of taxis."

Slow Burn Avenue has just jumped into the #3 spot with a bullet on www.outvoice.com 's top 40 chart of out artists.

Northrup also writes for musical theatre, film and lately has written text for classical choral composition.
