“HERE COME THE JESTERS, ONE-TWO-THREE... Christmas came early when one of the guys from Chronic Jester stopped by the office to drop off a copy of the band's new CD, Surly You Jest. It's a terific listen and shows off the hardworking, fun-loving trio's rock and reggae influences. Nine original songs, all of 'em good, and-no small thanks to co-producer and engineer Shannon Wallace, I'm sure-it sounds great, too. Longtime fans of Phil, Lucas and Brad will appreciate the extended live noodling-er, jamming-that closes the disc. You can (and should) pick up a copy Sunday, Oct. 30, at Pandora's in Grayton Beach at the CD Release/Halloween party, or download it now from Amazon, eMusic, ect.”

— Chris Manson (Editor), The Beachcomber

“It’s too bad Eddie Cochran isn’t around anymore because I think I just found a cure for the summertime blues. It’s that pulse-pounding power trio known as Chronic Jester! Each member brings their own flavor to the group resulting in a delicious cocktail of rock, reggae, funk, and blues. They never prepare a setlist, choosing instead to let the vibe of the crowd dictate what they play, but we’re likely to get a good mix of covers, original songs, and a whole lot of entertainment. Their shows are a perfect combination of catchy, dance-inducing beats and fun, interactive antics that will leave you begging for an encore. This group is all about the fans having a good time, so don’t be surprised if they bring the “toy box” – a collection of rudimentary instruments, hula-hoops, and other novelties that allow the crowd to really get in on the action. Their motto is “you can’t argue with people dancing,” and there certainly are a lot of them at Chronic Jester’s shows.”

— Michael Carrasco, Woody's Live

“If you have recently rung a cowbell or hula-hooped, it’s very possible you were at a Chronic Jester show. It seems the fun-loving band with the funny name (it means “always playing the fool”) is everywhere these days The trio is comprised of guitarist-vocalist Phillip Vaughn, bassist Lucas Garrett and drummer Brad Fuller. Chronic Jester was formed out of the ashes of an old band the three once played in. As bassist Garrett recalls, “Our group broke up, and once the smoke cleared we were the three left standing.” Performing together since 2008, Chronic Jester is one of the hardest working bands around. On any given night, you might find them playing anywhere from Panama City Beach to Pensacola. Their brand of rock—infused with reggae, blues and funk flavors—is infectious. Their musical style is a tribute to the sounds they all loved growing up: Led Zeppelin, Rush, Pink Floyd, Sublime and Bob Marley for starters.... see http://www.thebeachcomber.org/jester.htm”

— Shelly Swanger, The Beachcomber

“Chronic Jester at Funky Blues Shack, Village of Baytowne Wharf, 11/7/08: The name of the band is Chronic Jester, but their music is no laughing matter. If awesome covers of the best rock, reggae and blues weren't enough, these guys have originals that will have you putting "Get hands on Chronic Jester demo" at the top of your To Do List. If you miss out on catching them perform, the joke's on you. ”

— Tiffany Smith, The Beachcomber
