"Folksinger Tom Kastle's performance of the musical play, Joe Hill, Alive as You and Me... celebrates the legacy of the martyred poet and labor leader. The tone is set by the script’s opening lines… On November 19, 1915, a man named Joe Hill was shot by firing squad in Salt Lake City, Utah—his crime? Writing songs! What follows, described by the show’s creator as 'an evening of songs, stories and solidarity' is a remarkable 70-minute collective experience." -- People's World
“Tom Kastle is sounding sweeter than ever these days, especially in his ‘natural habitat’ as he leads the whole crowd in Joe Hill songs.” --Marilyn Rea Beyer/Midnight Special WFMT
