"Juber is a master of acoustic finger style, but with less of the trick-guitar mishmash that seems obligatory among the high octane pickers. He has a fluid style that shifts gears through simultaneous jazzy chording, leads, and bass lines, while weaving in and out of musical thoughts faster than a Formula One racer." - San Diego Reader
"At the heart of LJ's sound and style breathes a near-flawless technique where a fiercely emotional underbelly, alternate tunings, and keen sense of melody and rhythm coalesce into something uniquely his ownyou don't have to be a solo-happy guitar worshipper to appreciate his talents."- Inland Empire Weekly
"the notes spin out of the songs with such finesse and musical agility, it's hard to believe he has only 10 fingers and six strings." - San Francisco Chronicle
