Here is snip a recent Chris Rose article:

"Guy named Gary Hirstius opened for [Steve] Earle, no easy task when you're playing in front of a passionately loyal underground following, playing before a crowd that doesn't give a hoot about opening acts, the kind that wants to hear Their Guy and Their Guy Only. But he did it. He killed it. I've heard of this guy for years - the so-called rock-'n'-roll detective - and paid absolutely no attention to him and I am here to tell you, if you don't already know this: Gary Hirstius rocks. He's got it. Or does everybody already know that? "
