Press

“They made your soul feel like liquid... They (2-Bit Palomino) were fantastic!'... compared to such bands as Alison Krause, Emilio Harris, Asleep at the Wheel, and Roy Orbison all with rockabilly flair... They had a Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young feel...Their songs...ah! They were excellent!... Eric Van was gushing over my friend ...next time they come into town, we’ll do it up right!”

— David Durham, Copy Editor , CNM Chronicle

"We thought [2-Bit Palomino]had a rousing energy that moved us as listeners. Your lead vocals really grabbed us. We don't tag a lot of releases as having excellent lead vocals, so this is an excellent strength for you to have...Above almost everything else, melody is an essential musical quality. Yours jumped out at us. Good melodies don't come easy. You should be proud."

— Hello Music Screening Team, HelloMusic.com

"A lyrically thoughtful, melodic and harmony rich debut disc, from this recently formed Houston trio of songwriters…from the joyously upbeat and optimistic “Today I Am A Pirate” to the inspirational “Wings” and the truly atmospheric “The Buffalo Grass”. “Run Girl, Run”, and “Boots and Dust and Dirt” provides ample evidence that this folk-country trio know how to rock.

— AW, Maverik Magazine

“2-Bit Palomino’s debut release is a colorful musical palette set against solid lyrics and imagery. The incomparable Bill Ward has met his musical soul mates in Peter (“Ren”) and Andi Renfree. Together they are the most refreshing thing to come out of the Texas Folk/Americana genre in a long time. Ward’s stellar reputation as a storyteller, musician and entertainer is matched by the strong, lilting vocals of Andi; and by Ren’s West Coast, laid-back, Eagles-like style. With both Renfree and Ward at the helm, the production, arrangements, instrumentation and engineering skills are evident in the finished product. From the title cut, “Two Bit Palomino”, to the epic of “The Buffalo Grass”, this CD will capture your heart. Notable performances range from the tender “Wings”; to the easy-going “Leaving California”; to the melodic “Today I Am a Pirate”. With such a strong debut album, there is no doubt that 2-Bit Palomino will have a long, beautiful ride.”

— Connie Mims, 2009 Academy of Texas Music - Singer/Songwriter of the Year

“There are not many songwriters who can make me totally and completely smitten with their words….but these songs, lyrics and vocals by Andi Renfree, Peter (Ren) Renfree and Bill Ward are more than I could ever expect. The acoustical melodies and harmonies in these beautiful voices blend like they were always meant to be, and the songs are so masterfully written and aimed straight for your heart and consciousness. Ren, Andi and Bill are artists in the truest sense of the word, painting vivid pictures in your mind, melting into your mind, heart and soul. 2-Bit Palomino does just that and more. You will forever remember each heartfelt message and the kaleidoscope of visuals created by their spectacular lyrics, vocals and melodies. It is pure magic from 2-Bit Palomino in their new CD masterpiece of the same name.”

— Sherryjane Cooke, Texas Country Music, etc..

“Awwwweheeeeyayyy ! Just fumbled the CD out of my postbox (floating bottle worked fine) and have to tell you, Andi, Peter and Bill: This is the very, very best CD I heard in a long, long time... all is of the finest - the songwriting, the singing and playing, the arrangements and last not least the wonderful recording quality ! A-W-E-S-O-M-E !!!! Thank you for that piece of art !!!!”

— Martin Wieland - Deerbridge Guitars, Germany, Facebook

“This incredible day ended with an intimate concert by 2 bit palomino at the Corner Cafe. The Renfrees have teamed up with Bill Ward to form a great little folk-Americana- you name it- band. All original songs, with their usual zeal, and now with the veteran finesse of a git down picker and piano man. Ward has an interesting gravelly voice and sings a fun song about a child riding one of those grocery store mechanical ponies... a 2 bit palomino... hence their new name. But there is nothing 2-bit about their sound. These performers already sound like they have been playing together for a long time. You know that is true when the show seems too short!”

— Russell Cushman, The Navasota Current

"Houston's new supergroup is "Two-Bit Palomino"!!!"

— Ken Gaines, FaceBook.com

“We don’t ask for much, do we? All we ask is that songwriters write good songs. All we ask is for singers to sing perfectly. All we ask is that artists release CDs with expert performances by outstanding pickers. We simply ask that, as music fans, we come away from a listening experience somehow improved by having listened. The trio of Peter Renfree, Andi Renfree, and Bill Ward are collectively 2-Bit Palomino and they have delivered all we asked for and more. Three voices, each unique and varied, beautifully blended to create some of the best harmonies you will hear this year. I don’t remember seeing that since, well, I don’t remember seeing that. As you listen to “2-Bit Palomino,” a song penned by Ward, you will come to understand the inspiration of this group. An award worthy project, this disc provides the answer to the question, “What more could we ask for?””

— Lucky Boyd, MyTexasMusic.com

"2-Bit Palomino is a thoroughbred musical powerhouse consisting of Texas singer songwriters Bill Ward, Ren Renfree and Andi Renfree who make up this awesome trio of dedicated singer/songwriters that, In a short time, has developed a unique combination of musical style, vocal blending, harmony and songwriting! This newly formed band is awesome!"

— Jim and Pam, JP Hops House - Pub

"...the best Texas Country Music from Houston and three of the most talented vocalists, songwriters I’ve heard in a long time! When I first heard of 2-Bit Palomino, as always, I listened to their music. These Texas Music artists from Houston are incredible, and are headed for Texas Country Music stardom!

— SherryJane Cooke, Houston Country Music Examiner
