"Of course we have to pick up speed and random emotions when the one man band known as Insomniac Folklore took the stage. For me personally I heard elements of both the folk/punk group Calibretto to the weird folk of The Danielson Family mixed in with his own unique vocal delivery and passionate musicianship. He crafted music that held his heart and soul, rarely do you hear such intensely personal song-writing - the emotional sleeve he wears cannot be an easy path, but it was amazing. " - Allalom.com

"Tyler Hentschel hears things in his head... (concert promoter)Allen calls him the "strongest local musician his age" and said matter-of-factly if Hentschel weren't good, Allen wouldn't back him. "He's come an amazing distance," Allen said. Allen has used Insomniac Folklore at three or four Rock 4 Reason concerts. The shows invariably feature bands from across the country, usually from the Pacific Northwest. Insomniac Folklore is one of a handful of local bands Allen deems good enough to promote -- good enough because of strong songwriting ability, Allen said. He's got a gift that way," he said. From penning lyrics to capturing catchy melodies, Hentschel shows definite promise, Allen said." - The News Review

"If you like acoustic music, you'll love Insomniac Folklore. Tyler writes great meaningful songs that are sometimes a little depressing... I can relate to and agree with alot of his lyrics in his songs... Wonderful production, a very talented musician, and a nice and funny guy. Go buy this CD. (8/10stars)" - Themusicjunkie.net

Tyler plays a strong and creative version of indie acoustic music sure to find a home with fans of such artists as Simon and Garfunkle, The Violent Femmes, or Beck. Insomniac Folklore is an artist on the way up. I greatly look forward his next release and the growth it brings. - Rock 4 Reason
