PRESS AND QUOTES FOR THE DOCUMENTARY "EVERYONE BUT
YOU"
(
"Everyone But You does a great job, better than almost anything
else I've seen, of capturing
what it's like to truly be a struggling artist."
Westword
"Eric is a brilliant writer. It's a gift. The best literature lets bad things happen to characters we care about,
and Everyone But You does this. It's a moving film that makes you squirm, laugh, cry, reflect, and hope."
KRFC (Radio Free Colorado)
"The film isn't perfect...But for a first film – no, any film – it's pretty darn close."
Colorado Springs Independent
"Though he doesn't seem to believe it...Shiveley may have a future as a filmmaker."
Boulder Daily Camera
"Eric Shiveley has made a wonderful and surprising movie – eccentric, disarming, heartfelt,
weirdly inspirational – filled with oddball characters, superb music, stunning Western landscapes
and lots of hilarious scene-stealing dogs. With precise attention to the wounding costs and
sublime benefits, he draws a self-portrait of an artist living, in the best American tradition,
against the grain, and he does so with scalding honesty and true wit. I will remember this movie
long after all the Hollywood and even indie fare I watch fades from memory."
Steven Bauer, Miami University, Author -- Daylight Savings and Satyrday
"Groundbreaking – literally...Shiveley captures the beauty, isolation and
potential of the San Luis Valley
as he constructs his own studio while surrounded by breathtaking scenery. Hilarious
candid and personal
moments offer a slice of dwelling in the San Luis Valley as he makes music, falls in
love and ponders life."
SLV Dweller
"...staggeringly,
achingly beautiful. I've been thinking about it for days, and it just keeps
mellowing
in memory like a good wine."
Bret Bertholf, Author -- The Long Gone Lonesome History of
Country Music
"Wow...Everyone but you is beautiful, terribly sad, tragic and also redemptive. It's great, big work."
Jonathan Bitz, Editor -- Denver Syntax
Don Vasicek, Writer/Director of the award-winning documentary "The Sand Creek Massacre"
real deals...a singer/songwriter of truly incredible talent."
Adventurejournalist.com
"...a generous, beautiful, sad, and hopeful movie...I want everyone I care about to see it."
Dr. Carol Guerrero-Murphy, Author -- Table Walking at Nighthawk
"...go see it, at all costs. This film is Saltystix.com’s consensus pick as
the best and favorite film
at the Oxford International Film Festival."
SaltyStix.com
"The whole time I was watching, all I kept thinking was 'Why am I not doing this
myself?', and that's the
highest compliment I can give."
Rodney Lee Conover, Screenwriter/Comedian
PRESS FOR ERIC SHIVELEY'S MUSIC
"El Diablo is Eric Shiveley’s best album to date...interlacing tales of
women,
slow dancing, cars, broad landscapes,
and looming despair. What defines and
elevates the album, however, is the idiosyncratic power of Eric’s voice...
variously reminiscent of Franklin Bruno, J.J. Cale, Vic Chesnutt, Buddy Miller
and Kurt Cobain. El Diablo is traveling music for the weary and
lovelorn—a gem."
Dave Tallent, KRFC (Radio Free
Colorado)
"One of Denver's most underappreciated singer-songwriters, Eric Shiveley doesn't
perform often enough..."
Boulder Dirt
"A great album worthy of national airplay."
Denver Rocks
"Eric Shiveley has the best sound to come out of Denver in years."
Denver's Heartbeat
"Fans of local rocker Eric Shiveley will be sad to hear that he has ditched the
Denver music scene in favor of a secluded life in the San Luis Valley..."
