"Kent Eastwood….combines pop, rock and folk styles in his soulful love songs to create a most enjoyable sound.....Spending a week up in Byron Bay last week….the sunny strummy acoustic sounds of Kent Eastwood became a fitting soundtrack to the lazy and easygoing east coast......'Cinderella' could sit proudly amongst the great songs of Half A Cow's very own Bernie Hayes.....If heartfelt acoustic pop is your bag, then check him out" - Half a Cow Records review of Through the Days album demo
