“The thing I like about Stu is that he understands the language of music so well, it allows me as a writer to speak in the nuances of tone and color of a piece of work. He always gives me back more than I have asked of him, and for a composer this is a joy.” Ed Donnellan, Singer Songwriter

“You keep our band warm and inviting in a very unique way – and you have such a great presence when you play…you added SO much to the sound and you really round out our more contemplative selections in a way we’ve not been able to without you” Jeff Finger, Café Band Leader

"Stu has the "easy going, kind spirited personality" I really like in a musician. He is a disciplined artist and is Classically trained. As a pianist I am particularly impressed with his good ear as he comfortably and tastefully improvises along with me. I would recommend Stu in a heartbeat to anyone." Anton Nel, Worship Designer at Menlo Park Presbyterian Church.
