"A Southern rock band from Charlotte that sounds like a twangier version of the Black Crowes. “Southern State of Mind” is a stirring Southern rock power anthem, while “Whiskey Woman” and “Betty Ford” are lovely, guitar-driven ballads."

"Debut seven song EP from this band of transplanted Southern rockers. Vocalist Joseph William leads the band through a set of country waltzes, Southern boogie and moody, alternative pieces, all punctuated with his likable, gruff delivery and “shoot from the hip” lyrical observations. Standouts include the slightly off-color wit of “White Trash Queen”, the slow waltz of “Whiskey Woman” and the song that has become wildly popular at Charlotte Checkers (hockey) home games “Southern State of Mind” with its heartfelt, true-story of Southbound migration."

"A product of Charlotte's famed NoDa district, Evelynn Rose is a band whose roots are firmly planted below the Mason-Dixon line. The Charlotte Observer describes Evelynn Rose as, "A rootsy Southern rock quartet with raspy vocals, a bluesy underbelly reminiscent of Black Crowes, and gritty lyrics that conjure images of smoky bars, cheap hotels and wide-open landscapes."

"I am deployed to Southwest Asia and just saw Evelynn Rose perform at my base. THANK YOU so much for sending them to us! They are amazing performers as well as ‘salt-of-the-Earth’ people. It was such an uplifting few hours being able to feel like we were not where we actually are, like we were back in the states. They gave an incredible show and were so glad to be here and appreciative of what we do, and we were so truly thankful that they came out to be here with us; we actually got to talk to one of the band members in the smoking area and it was refreshing to converse with him and feel like we were home again; that’s a big deal for us here. Thanks for booking groups like Evelynn Rose! We’d love to see them again! What you all do for us service members is truly appreciated! Thank-you!"

"Southern Rock played the way it should be; outrageous and outstanding from the off. This six track album cannot be recommended any higher. Despite its minimal track listing, such a sound is created that it simply blows you off your seat. The commonly held thought is that with the release of an EP comes a full-length album. I’m sure many out there who listen to this record will certainly cross their fingers as any further releases which are as good as this will be simply amazing."

““The band's album is due to hit the streets on Feb. 15. They've got an edge to their rock style that adds a hint of country. At moments they reminded me of the Black Crowes, but the singer is closer to Seven Mary Three. Get that list out of 'who to watch' and add them to it." ”
