Music Review(s)
"With his debut LP, Arrive, Will Hutchinson has stepped onto the music scene with a knock-out album. This ten track collection never lets you down, pounding you with one solid song after another. His voice is beautiful, the melodies happy, the lyrics strong, and the harmonies dead on. When Hutchinson sings on “Without You,” a sad song about losing a loved one, the swelling harmonies give you chills. His music pulls you into the songs and paints vivid images playing out before you through every beat. Arrive is the type of album every singer/songwriter aspires to produce. You will love this album! Will Hutchinson, you keep on singing your sweet melody!"

"Hutchinson's set as the featured act is pleasant. With airy, wistful vocals, backing himself capably on acoustic rhythm guitar, leading a band of lead guitar, drums and bass, he shows considerable promise as a tunesmith. Can't be much out of his early 20s with a likeable demeanor, has a good command of melody and avoids getting stuck in a stylistic rut. The songs are folkish soft-rock that give the impression he's got a vintage record collection or has been listening to his parents' stack of oldies. For instance, Hutchinson starts out with "March" from his fine debut album Arrive, casually strumming in idle, upbeat fashion; as the number gets underway, I can't help thinking, If Neil Young could actually sing, this is sort of what he'd sound like. Hutchinson has that kind of laid-back feel, but can actually hold a tune and phrases nicely."--twin cities daily planet
