We (The Boxcar Lilies) wanted to stretch ourselves. That’s why we chose Lorne as the producer. He has a meticulous ear, but also a vision that was beyond the vision we had for ourselves. He pushed us and we learned to come to the studio with more confidence and the willingness to take a risk. No Depression
He's just a great guy. And in the studio, I can get scared pretty easy. But Lorne is a patient and loving producer. And he just takes something that's working and that's good, and he just steps it up, he just brings it up a level. That's what he does for everybody. Lori McKenna
What a refreshing work! (Chuck McDermott's Gin & Rosewater) Chuck is a true old school musician. Seriously check this out. Songs by a person who sings with character. It was a pleasure to have made a contribution. Stephen Stills
Mark Erelli’s Compass and Companion is an expertly crafted, beautifully produced collection of songs. The Washington Post
One would be hard pressed to find another set of songs as beguiling as this, (Hayley Reardon's Good) and indeed, it's to Reardon's credit the she remains so cooly captivating and devoid of posture or pretense. The songs are softly tinted to be sure, but the themes -- mostly concerned with hope and longing -- resonate with a passion, purpose and sense of yearning as well. There’s no shortage of sweet allure; the hushed yet effervescent Ghost, the lithe and lilting title track, the exquisitely beautiful The Going, the hopefully optimistic When I Get To Tennessee, and the album’s most effusive offering, The High Road show her mastery of melody extending well beyond her tender years. Reardon’s expressive vocals cast a seductive spell, one which simmers and shines regardless of the sentiments she expresses. No Depression
Great hooks, great groove and amazing production by Lorne Entress make this CD [Jonathan Kingham’s Hardwood Floors] one that will get stuck in your CD player for days. Folkweb

Mark Erelli credits much of The Memorial Hall Recordings sonic success to producer drummer Lorne Entress. ”Lorne’s main contribution was keeping his ears open as we were playing. We were hoping to record the take just before everybody knew exactly what they were doing, and it was Lorne’s job to realize when we’d hit that. Lorne can hear that stuff on the fly.” Acoustic Guitar
“Bittertown was definitely the biggest learning experience for me; it was like a turning point in my confidence,” says Lori McKenna. “We went in to make Bittertown with Lorne (Entress), who produced it, and he played drums and a zillion other instruments, and Kevin Barry who played bass and guitar, and it was just the three of us. It was sort of a long studio experience, but it was necessary for it to take that long because I was just learning. If I hadn't done that record before I made this record for Warner Brothers, I think I would have been just a mess. Bittertown gave me so much back. Country Standard Time
Lorne Entress takes the helm for Long Night Moon. The result? Assisted by the support players and backing vocalists, Entress has skillfully fashioned and burnished a classic Catie Curtis song collection. Folkwax
Working with Lorne on my full-length CD was such a gift. He brought a wealth of experience, knowledge, creativity, and talent to the table, and was a committed partner throughout the entire process. He's one of the best! Kayla Ringelheim
A talented crew of musicians came onboard for this project [Jenna Lindbo’s Jasmine Parade], and with Lorne Entress at the helm they have created lush arrangements and simply adorned songs that capture Jenna’s artfully crafted stories and recognizable spark. Hope and a tangible current of gratitude are pulsing through these tunes. Folk Alley
Lorne worked on my Hold Your Fire EP, which was one of the greatest experiences of my life. He is beyond patient, brilliantly creative, and works until the mixes sound amazing. He knows what he wants to produce and perfects it. He has the music theory knowledge I wish I had, but more importantly, is fun to work with. He met deadlines, appointment times, and studio sessions with ease, and made my ten year dream a reality. My only complaint is that I moved across the country and can't knock on his front door!

One Time literally jumped out of my speakers the first time I heard it. Amy Black’s band is stellar, and Lorne Entress did a stellar job producing as always. WUMB-FM Boston
Lorne is a DREAM to work with! He brings an unbelievably creative vision to every project, unique as the artists he works with. I loved sharing in the creative process with Lorne and bringing my songs to life in a new way. One thing I so deeply appreciated was Lorne's intuitive sense when it came to inviting musicians to play on the record. When the main players showed up for our sessions, they were genuinely inspired and excited about the songs, and their enthusiasm was palpable in the studio. Our chemistry was evident when we began tracking the first song. The recording process was an overwhelmingly positive and deeply rewarding experience as an artist, not to mention the end result and gorgeous album, thanks much to Lorne's art as a producer, player, and engineer.

From Lorne -- Alastair Moock and I created a record together called "A Life I Never Had." Quite a while after its release Alastair got an unexpected phone message. I LOVE this.
