“Rich Wyman is the eighth wonder of the world. He is up there with the greats when it comes to musicianship and surpasses most when it comes to performance.” – Mike Walsh, Clonmel Songwriting Contest, Ireland.
“Rich Wyman is the most talented musician to ever pass through Wexford. I am truly awed at his performance and talent and I thank you for sending me his CD to play on the air. The response to the song ‘Fatherless Child’ is HUGE!! People are calling all the time requesting the song.” – Leigh Doyle – KISS 102.7, Ireland.
“Mr. Wyman’s got a voice like a hurricane, John Hiatt after a shot of anabolic steroids. Rich Wyman is at his best in the melodic power ballads which he seems to dash off one after the other. Catchy gems like ‘I’m Alive’, ‘So What’ and ‘Last Time I Fell’ breathe an atmosphere of amazing grandeur. I wouldn’t be surprised at all if ‘the Piano Man from Park City’ became really big.” – Oor Magazine (Holland)
