Reviews
"Tenor Scot Crandal sings with passion and power. His technique is impeccable; but more importantly he sings with expression and an emotional conviction that can span a range from heroic to sorrowful to lyrical in a single performance. From opera to pop, this is a singer who crosses musical boundaries with ease and grace."
