PRESS: Marin Independent Journal Feature Article by Paul Liberatore: “As a high-tech one-man band, the tousle-haired Mill Valley musician plays 300 shows a year for audiences that are invariably as impressed and as full of questions as I was. Put very simply, Bolton uses a piece of digital hardware, called a looping station, that records whatever sound you put into it and repeats it continuously. The unit sits on the floor, so he can operate it with his foot, and has three separate tracks with unlimited overdubs on each track to work with. He can sound like a small combo or a symphony orchestra...on stage all by himself, singing, strumming acoustic guitar, stomping on foot pedals, adding drum fills, keyboard parts, bass lines, vocal harmonies. Nothing was prerecorded, he explained at one point. He said he was creating the music right there in front of us, in the moment. It was, quite frankly, astounding” -Paul Liberatore – Marin IJ-
