“Andru Branch & Halfway Tree make internationally recognized reggae music of the highest order.” ~ Halifax Jazz Festival
“Andru Branch is the real deal, the genuine article, an authentic…Weather The Storm is a real triumph in style and tradition…Besides a universal message, it features a poetry and structure that stands in true homage of roots reggae’s best.” ~ The East Magazine
“Inspired by reggae pioneers such as Steel Pulse, Branch and his band deliver a timely message of love and unity.” ~ Jamaica Star
“The six-piece roots collective pack an authentic punch, an earthy sensibility and an ear for hypnotic dub grooves. They show clear influence from The Wailers, Burning Spear and Lee "Scratch" Perry...Branch and crew nail the technical, spiritual and music elements of an instrumental sound that both entrances and inspires.” ~ Exclaim! Magazine
“This band rocks, and would go down a storm on the European festival circuit, which is where they definitely belong.” ~ John Masouri, Echoes UK Magazine
“[Andru Branch & Halfway Tree have been] in the business for so long and released such an amount of good reggae music…A whole lot of talent here who have joined forces for ten novel tracks, resulting in a rewarding listening experience…Weather The Storm implores us to hold on to love despite all the raging tempest around us.” ~ Reggaeville
“Canadian reggae pioneer Andru Branch has collected a quarter century of his finest recordings into a stunning new album called The Singles. Among the millions who have responded to the call of Jamaica's influential music, few have made of their obsession art as fine as this. With frequent trips to the island itself, collaborating with some of the key musicians in Kingston's studios, Branch has amassed a body of work that stands with the best of them. Positive and constructive, harmonic and infectious, it's the perfect soundtrack for these troubled times.” ~ Roger Steffens, Bob Marley lecturer, author and reggae historian
“You can hear it when he sings and read it in his lyrics, songs of peace and unity in the spirit of the late Bob Marley…Halfway Tree sings the kind of songs that are missing in today’s mass market.” ~ The Town Crier, Toronto
