PRESS/QUOTES

A Normal Life is a catchy – and more importantly, funny – collection of pop songs.
Jay Ruttenberg, Time Out New York
 
What every producer looks for most in an artist is uniqueness, especially in this YouTube, everybody's-in-show-biz age. Garry Novikoff delivers on every front, and his charming, engaging, intelligently catchy songs are so intensely personal that they are absolutely universal. 
Richard Barone, producer, recording artist, composer, and author
 
I am so taken with Garry’s unique brand of humor and storytelling. The songs are very sneaky. They reach up and grab you in the heart when you least expect it.
Victor Mignatti, Grammy-nominated filmmaker
 
Garry has a delightfully quirky sense of humor. He also writes heartbreakingly poignant songs that pack quite a satiric punch. Good Night, Rabbit and Lenny are two aching memories swirled into songs of love and loss.  
Bob Sherman, WFUV  
 
A charming folk song…I identify with that fellow!
Jonathan Schwartz, WNYC and XM radio (on Dog on the Moon)
 
My favorite ditty [on To Touch the Stars] is unquestionably Garry Novikoff’s joyous ‘Dog on the Moon.’ It hilariously condenses both the media circus that accompanies space celebrities… and the ‘what might have been’ feeling held today by so many of us who grew up during the Apollo era.
Jeff Berkwits, Science Fiction Weekly
 
There is a poignancy when Garry Novikoff sings in Dog on the Moon that he dreams of being, in his next life, the first dog to touch down on Mars.

Surreal.
Smithsonian Air and Space
 
Garry Novikoff is one of the most important artists of our time.
