“How can you so masterfully give of yourself? Honestly, you sang with such beauty, shared you personal story, and fielded questions in front of an audience of over 100 people with complete grace. Our annual event was a huge success largely because of you Diedrich.” – Stefano LoVerso, Community Relations Coordinator, Vail Place

“You were charismatic in the most profound way Diedrich. Our fundraiser needed heart and soul and you brought it home with not only your personal story, but how you weaved it with your absolutely incredible songs with such skill and passion.” – Patty Halvorson, Marketing/ Development Manager, Lee Carlson Center for Mental Health & Well Being

“Diedrich, you are so talented...that's sounds hooky, but your gentle voice and quick thinking and profound results are amazing. Thanks for being with us on Monday. You touched people's souls. Honest. We all are looking through a different window now. You did the same at the Bridgeview benefit at Hell's Kitchen. You are an amazing MC. - Helen Hartley, Program Director, Bridgeview.

"I listened to your CD on my drive home yesterday, and at first I thought oh well, nice guitar, nice voice although a little constrained on some notes, but then after a few songs, I was pulled in and began to listen to the words, appreciating that you are singing from the heart and that the songs are very intentional. By "Ruby," I was hooked. Looked up, and there was a V of Canada geese trailing beautifully through the lavender and scarlet sunset clouds, as if on cue. As the last notes of "Home" were ringing, I was pulling into the driveway of my little house, coming home. You have magic around you, Diedrich!" - Mary D.

“Diedrich, you are doing wonderful things in the community and I am humbled by your commitment and drive to both pursue your musical passion and support the work of so many. You were wonderful to work with throughout the planning of our fundraiser to the end of the evening. I will not hesitate to contact you again for future events.” – Fran Lyon-Dugin, Director of Financial and Business Development, Crisis Connection

“Thank you so much for donating 20% of the proceeds of your CD to NAMI Minnesota. Thank you for your kind thoughts and for your beautiful music. You are a real treasure. Can’t wait for your performance at our upcoming annual event.” – Michelle Greene, Development Director, NAMI Minnesota

“The guys were still talking about you today in my small class. Guys were coming up to me thanking me for bringing you in. You really made an impact. I'm glad that you were recognized by the guys for having made a contribution in their lives. When you give your life away you get it. Keep on giving!” – Dave Johnson, Chaplain/Counselor, The Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center, Minneapolis, MN

“Thank goodness for your supreme musical talent. You made the fundraiser walk a success even amongst the raindrops. So glad we can do this again next year!” – DJ Moser, Secretary, Mental Wellness Campaign For Anoka County, Inc.

“Music doesn't get much more personal or purposeful than it does for songwriter Diedrich Weiss. One sweet footnote to his story is his music is pretty damn compelling, with traces of Richard Thompson and Jeff Buckley and an obviously deep emotional well in his solo acoustic songs.” – Chris Riemenschneider, Star Tribune

“I was going to say how beautiful your music is. It IS beautiful, but its more - and different - from just beautiful. It's haunted and haunting, full of whimsy and sometimes mischief. Your voice is wonderfully reedy - and I love, love your song 'Dandelion'.” – Jenny H

“After hearing your music, I wanted to respond right away...but every word I wrote took away from what it really meant. I will say I have listened to your music, shared it, talked about it and about you...and still, the words just don't match up to my experience. I guess you've said everything for me in your songs. Thank you!” – April M.

“I just want to tell you how moved I was as I was listening to your soul through your voice and really hearing the words to your songs. You are an amazing person!!! Thank you so much for that experience.” – Jane H.
