If you ask Reese about himself, he’ll tell you he’s a brand new soul. But his songs tell a different story, with a clear eye and poetic touch, of a conduit to something much older and deeper. With a fluid lineup of versatile and talented players in his Carriage House Band, Reese’s music is reminiscent of the early work of Josh Ritter or Iron & Wine. “His music really is so thoughtful and interesting and insightful. I really appreciate his fun and joyful spirit when he performs. He’s got a great openness with the audience and draws you in. Not only with the music but with the discussions he has onstage that allow the audience to really get to know him as a person first, then a performer.” – Kim Cirillo Wickham

“I’m polite. I have manners and resqect my audiences,” Bolton says. ” I respect the other people I’m playing with, and I’m forever grateful – grateful to still be playing and to the people who come out and listen.” It’s a concept that doesn’t get a lot of attention in the world of music, with its Amy Winehouses and Eminems. Then again, Bolton, 57, realizes he isn’t living in the same world as they are.His music world can be mapped out within a five-block radius of downtown Saratoga Springs from Gaffney’s to The Parting Glass to The Olde Bryan Inn or a blocked-off Caroline Street during the Hats Off celebration that kicks off the thoroughbred racing season.

“Songs can present themselves anywhere from conversation to contemplation in every aspect of experience one might encounter on any given day. Recognizing such moments as inspiration and the ammunition to write something poignant and cohesive is half the battle. I write simple yet vulnerable melodies about the experiences of life, love, and perspective in the 21st century. I enjoy writing from a title that hands me a topic allowing me to color in the blanks. Other than that I’m just an average minded goofball.” Candlen was the winner of the 2005 Music For Miracles Songwriting Contest with “All Over The World.” He was voted Metroland magazine’s Best Male Vocalist 2006, and Best Drummer 2007. Sample song
