This C.D. is an acoustic gemstone in the acoustic world
author: Miranda
I just heard about the John Ulrich band through a friend and how he was opening for a Dave Matthews Concert at the Gorge and bought the C.D. and it is amazing. I thought he was an old man, but when I went to one of his sold out shows, I realized that not only is he awesome at the guitar, but he is also young and sexy! Kind of like Dave Matthews. He is an awesome dancer/stage performer. I recommend this C.D. :) Miranda

Your lyrics are astounding. Your eyes are wide open with a sexy and enlightening
author: Sarah
Your music resonates on my walls spreading warmth into every crevice. I am very much at peace right now. Fingers gliding across strings with such ease and a voice making it all seem surreal; it flows together quite well. I really have no reservations that your gifts will bring forth your most wildest dreams. You are a very sexy man John. Your reflections on reality interest me. I didn\'t know men like you existed. I thought it was just a \'Dave Matthews\' fairy tale. You really know how to get to the core of a person and make reality a little more sensual. Your aura definitely lingers long after your music has silenced.
