“John Michael Presney flashes an easy smile as Carl Perkins, in a memorable interpretation of the early rocker that emphasizes his guitar virtuosity...”Who Do You Love” transported me straight to guitar heaven and I instantly developed a crush on the talented and charismatic Presney.”

“Presney is a terrific Perkins – he’s brooding at times, even resentful of Elvis’ purloining of his “Blue Suede Shoes” and of Lewis’ irrepressible enthusiasm, but he’s likeable nonetheless. He plays a mean guitar and does a fab rockabilly.”

“It certainly helps that all the actors/musicians were clearly the real deal. John Michael Presney as Carl Perkins played guitar with the technical and understated virtuosity that made Carl Perkins so effortless in his performances.”

“ John Michael Presney is our first encounter as Carl Perkins...his voice and musicianship do not disappoint.”

“John Michael Presney played the guitar like ringing a bell as Carl Perkins. His renditions of “Who Do You Love?” and “See You Later Alligator” were spot on.”

“The Snow Queen is at its best when it’s focusing most intently on Gerda (Eryn Murman) and Kai (John Michael Presney).”

“You can’t help but root for Gerda and Kai, especially when they are played with such devotion by Murman and Presney who are terrific.”
