âBecause there is such an abundance of fine music emanating from our glorious valley, I regretfully don't get to hear it all. But I will say without hesitation, this is some of the finest talent around.â - Mike Jurkovic, Chronogram Magazine

âDrawing from bluegrass, country, stirring folk, and psychedelic pop, the group casts a rich, organic vibe that suggests â take your pick â Sheryl Crow fronting the Allmans, Edie Brickell with the Band, or Bonnie Raitt leading Little Feat.â â Dave Richards, Erie Times News

âA truly incredible and dynamic vocalist whose band spans influences including Americana, Bluegrass, Blues, and classic rock. Hailing from Woodstock NY, Meg Johnson has the voice of angels, and the band fleshes out their incredible material with a mixture of acoustic and electric instruments.â - Phil Simon, Simon Says Booking

ââ¦the writing here is far beyond being merely respectable and, especially for a debut, the band sounds more seasoned and professional than a lot of major label players.â - Robin Cracknell, Americana UK
