“Impeccable musicianship .. .(The) songs are very well wrought . . . A 70s feel with a bluesy influence, making me think of what it might sound like if Carly Simon did a record with Blues Traveler.” - Razorcake
“They were terrific! They packed the place, standing room only….the music was great, and my staff loved them. I'd have them back in a heartbeat."
- Freddy's Bar & Backroom
