"Dolan Ellis, I'm happy to report, is playing and singing better than ever! ...he's still very much like the kid who excited all of our audiences in the sixties..."

- Randy Sparks, Founder, "Inventor," and Original Leader of the Grammy-winning New Christy Minstrels, after seeing Dolan in concert in February 2005

"[Dolan Ellis] celebrates the beauty of our multifaceted State: its deserts, forests, lakes, and mountains. A dramatic performer and talented photographer, his one-man shows are an experience you won't soon forget." 

- Gustave Erickson, "Echoes of a Different Drum"
