"Hobler has recorded an album which proves he’s a songwriter of unparalleled skill, managing that elusive trick of being both introspective and universally appealing...The album has a soothing feeling to it akin to the relief of finally letting your guard down and inviting someone special into your life..these are songs of peerless quality which deserve to stand the test of time and become part of music’s great history.” 5 out of 5 Stars - Songwriting Magazine "Upbeat...catchy, well-crafted...with that early ’70′s Harry Nilsson/Gilbert O’Sullivan pop-ness about it. It’s a good thing, especially in a time where 'songwriters' are becoming scarce." - Popdose "With a style similar to the likes of Elliot Smith, Nick Drake, and more, Hobler’s debut album, The Elusive Yes, is poised to be a masterpiece of powerfully moving songs that all listeners will be able to connect with intimately." - Earbuddy Best Songs of 2014 - Daytrotter 2013 Best of NYC Emerging Artists Americana/Folk Rock - Deli Magazine 2014 NewSong Music Contest Finalist
