What's Been Said...
Jonny's innate sense of composition and mature understanding of melody touches my soul. This charming young man is an OLD soul, you sense it the minute you hear the first note. Jonny's pensive and mature music is full of emotion and experience that baffle us. I can't wait to see where this young man's journey takes him.
I see myself sitting in an audience, tears rolling down my face as I watching him win his place in this wondrous and complex world called the music business! Whatever happens little brother- follow your heart! "Quyanaa" (Thanks!) for your gift of song...
Mary Youngblood - Multi-Award Winning Native American Flute Artist
We love the variety of flutes and songs, and the extra interest added by the other instruments you play - what talent! This is an outstanding CD and should be heard (and purchased) by anyone looking to hear the "true virtouso" of the flute. Most will find it hard to believe that one so young could have mastered the flute so perfectly! Please always send me you music as you have an open invitation to have your music played on NativeRadio.com.

It's always refreshing to hear an artist free an instrument from its usual confines, which is what Jonny Lipford does. Taking his affinity for Native flute music, the artist couched it in a more accesible pop/folksy structure. Without compromising the inherent soulfulness of the main instrument, Lipford integrates the wafting flute melodies with a more subtly contemporary accompaniment, and the resultant mixture is a resounding success.
Bill Binkel - New Age Retailer
His sounds range from joyful to soulful. His melodies are dressed with a variety of well-executed embellishments; his movements and transitions are as smooth as the glassy surface of a lovely lake on a warm, still day. Varied rhythms blend with keyboard and flute creating beautiful soundscapes that invite the listener to travel to places in their own hearts.
