"This finger picking bluesman is a living image of today's blues
which dates back to the fifties of the last century.....Dik constantly performs spreading the love for the blues and its derivatives.

Bistro Culture - Ainay le Chateau
2022

"A His blues mourn improbable places, the sufferings of downgraded "workmen" and of course, the femme fatales who break the hearts of foolish men...
A very beautiful night imbued with all the nostalgia when the blues slept in the same bed as Life...”

Nikke Kaartinen - Director

November 2022

"The blues guitarist and singer Dik Banovich, ....... brought a truly rootsy atmosphere to our Riihisaari Blues Festival.
The bluesman fell in love with Savonlinna and its own blues festival - and so did our festival audience with this heartfelt and skilled bluesman from Brittany."

September 2016

"......Dik Banovich also produced three sets of spot-on acoustic blues, rich in tradition but also always shaped by humor and shades of Americana......
His sets were always interesting, enjoyable and featured most of the material from his current album,
Acoustic Roots and Blues, a rewarding little gem of a disc well worth checking out."

Dik Banovich - album review - "Run to You "

July 2021

"....a gritty vocal that can be moody with hints and undercurrents of modern Americana at it's heart...... he is widely admired in the French Blues Scene where he gigs extensively across the country....
"Run to You" features Banovich on guitar, vocals and banjo. A damn fine album well worth discovering. "
