“Songwriter Roger Harvey’s (otherwise known as Dandelion Snow) album ‘The Grand Scheme of Things’ is varied album of differing sounds and textures all held together by clever, intelligent lyrics inspired by his constant travelling. By being recorded with a small group of his friends Harvey has been able to do pretty much whatever he wants leading to this immensely satisfying album.”

- John Hawes; Americana UK

“Dandelion Snow has been furiously working away at honing his craft as a song writer and story teller… He manages to weave a personal and approachable story based on his nomadic and semi biographical musical journey. Dripped in bitter-sweet melodies and sincerity the album covers a vast array of sound and the mood shifts are tangible… There is no pretence but only heart on sleeve openness.”

- Distorted Magazine

“I see Harvey as essentially a modern-day Bob Dylan. His lyrics twist on his true life escapades, veering from starting life over in a new place, to dealing with relationships, and the ever-important tie-in about how music becomes the saving grace that turns everything around.”

- Ben Thompson; Sonic Dissonance

“Across ten tracks Harvey showcases a rare sincerity of emotion rooted in his unique blend of stripped down, passionate punk-powered acoustics and high strung, emotional fragility… Harvey’s vocals are wiry and weak in substance, but strong and filled with an optimistic sense of resistance and personal triumph… With The Grand Scheme Of Things, Harvey has found his voice, and with a blunt eloquence, he reaches out to the world. ”

- Cole Faulkner; The Punk Site

“Songwriter Roger Harvey, a.k.a. Dandelion Snow, has done enough traveling around the country to know what road music sounds like… The title track (The Grand Scheme Of Things) is lavishly draped in magic hour sunlight, dripping with world weary bits of wisdom tinged with the romantic yearnings for another place and time.”

- Patrick Bowmen; Speed Of The Pittsburgh Sound

“You, In That Hospital Gown is indeed the kind of song you’d play from an old boombox to a loved one in a coma. As such, prepare for feelings of infinite insignificance and prepare to hug your nearest and dearest a bit tighter.”

-Joe Sparrow; A New Band A Day

“I’ve never heard of this chap before but now I’ve heard this album I want to hear more. Dandelion Snow plays alternative folk music with conviction. There’s not one filler on ‘The Grand Scheme Of Things’…”
