"Makins is a nimble guitarist who produces a cascade of notes. Especially noteworthy are small town stories "Old Town" and "Little Cafe," which call upon memories from a West Texas childhood and seem to be ideal Lyle Lovett material. He clearly is a promising singer/songwriter destined to command bookings." -Patrick Nichols, This is Texas Music "Songwriter, Daniel Makins, gives a great concert with wit and sincerity that you will be sure to remember long after." -Lynn Forres, Private Underground House Concert Series "Daniel was selected as an official showcase performer Southwest Regional Folk Alliance '06."
