What folks say about Balladero:

Guido Farendholz (show coordinator - ALEX TV Berlin)
"A moving evening! With just a few words to the audience and the first sounds of the keyboard, these musicians have uplifted the evening and had the audience captivated and secure in the grip of their music. I have rarely seen such emotions evoked, seeing the audience smile … while the music was playing there was silence, and I even saw a tear or two."

Uwe Bossert (guitarist, label owner, producer; ALEX TV guest): “Balladero do really cool music …”

Gary Ashley (Yellowbrick Music, UK): “This is real music. From the heart.”

Sigic.si (Slovenian music centre review) : “Club Deuce offers an interesting, a pleasure to listen and roundabout musical “conglomerate” to the likes of late nineties Eric Clapton, Roger Waters or Phil Collins …“
