News & Reviews

New Haven Advocate, Feb 25, 1999
"Loose Ends is a solid haunting collection of quiet moments and private recollections... introspective but not self-indulgent, stark but not empty... The songs are filled with the exhaustion of the working man and the loneliness of the traveler."

Boston Globe, March 7, 1999
"Loose Ends... has become minor league hockey's version of a hit record, selling out its first 2,000 copies."

New Haven Register, January 15, 1999
"acoustic and gentle and reflective... definitely a personal recording."

Channel 8 News
"The bottom line is, he's good."

Fox News, Channel 8
"(Halfnight is) an accomplished musician... (He writes) nice tunes to drink a cup of coffee to."
