Praise for 'Beneath the Boughs'
"Jeff Stockton's sixty-plus minutes of folk-classical fusion on his album, Beneath the Boughs, are filled with melodic moments of spirituality and tradition of the Celtic-kind. Beneath the Boughs gleams with soothing sounds. Harp solos color the songs with crystalline detail, a celestial tone and uplifting spirit.
While the two longest tracks on Beneath the Boughs ("Wonder" & "Awakening" - gentle and beautiful lullabies featuring flourishing harp backing with periodic cello and violin solos) are rooted in spirituality and relaxing scenes, “Joy” adds a more amorous and enchanting melody to the album. "Joy" breaks new ground with a lively tempo, backed by a light bongo and a more upbeat harp line, and is certain to be a fan favorite for those listeners who appreciate folk music's ethereal aspects. The final instrumental piece, "In The Stillness", ripples with a gorgeous violin solo as the harp supports the bass lines and lower parts.
"Blessings," the only song with lyrics, is a great example of how forceful eloquence can convey a song's message. A gentle conviction comes through in Jeff’s voice. The singer's baritone has a subtle timbre and vibrato that nurtures the underlying melody, effectively capturing the essence of the song's Gaelic origins.
The musical terrain of Beneath the Boughs is soothing hills, gentle green grass and warm rivers of sound. Anyone seeking meditative music for creative inspiration or special occasions should consider buying this album. The lengthy instrumentals alone are worth every penny."
Starred Review by Michael Morgan, March 2011
“Sacred Ground”“Sacred Ground” is the debut recording for Jeff Stockton, featuring nine original compositions – beautiful, soulful and joyful. These contemporary Celtic pieces were inspired by the beauty and simplicity of the natural world, and arranged to reflect the wonder of an unfolding day in the height of Summer. The disc features harp, voice, cello, violin and percussion.
In the recording process, every attempt was made to capture the sense of intimacy that is created during live performance. The result is a recording evoking a range of emotions: with playful pieces that would sound at home in any Irish pub, gentle ballads with lush strings, through more exotic pieces combining eastern modes and strong percussion.
Praise for 'Sacred Ground'
‘Eventide’ begins this charming selection of Jeff’s original Celtic tunes played on harp, cello, violin, and percussion. The music is light, airy, and convivial, and Jeff’s mellow baritone lends itself ideally to the thought provoking lyrics of ‘Nightfall’, ‘Sunlight’, ‘Embrace’, ‘Sacred Ground’, and ‘Anamcara’. Combine this with masterful harp playing and sparse – but effective – accompaniment, and the CD brings freshness to traditional Celtic styled music.
Michael Woodhead - Synchronicity Magazine (Western Canada)
“I receive a lot of recordings of harp music…As much as I love the instrument, few recordings distinguish themselves as this one does.”
Walt Haake WDVR’s “The Mists of Avalon” (USA – East Coast radio program)
“ ‘Sacred Ground’ is soothing, reflective, and provides rest for the soul.”
Catholine Butler, music reviewer “Celtic Connections” (Western Provinces & States)
