“ Al Green and The Spinners were among the best and most popular smooth Soul artists, and you can hear the romantic yet funk influences of those artists in the best of Fresh Heir’s sets. ”

— Amped Sounds, Ampedsounds.com

“Fresh Heir doesn't play the groove too retro. With nods to John Legend and Maroon 5, the band's sound is truly fresh and contemporary.”

— Roy Kasten, KDHX

“The Old Rock House was sold out Thursday night for Chiddy Bang and Fresh Heir. The crowd couldn’t have been much older than the band members themselves. Most of the audience were indie kids who were venturing out for the first time in the world of hip hop. The first band of the night was Saint Louis’ own Fresh Heir, who were possibly the highlight of the night, at least until Chiddy Bang took the stage. Fresh Heir were a fusion of jazz, hip hop, and indie music and their repertoire of instruments included a trumpet and a sax, not to mention the several different kinds of percussion instruments and guitars. Fresh Heir packed the stage with their eight members and echoed the big band sounds of jazz with a modern twist.”

— Brenna Williams, Examiner.com

“Led by drummer and singer Nick Savage and trumpeter and vocalist Desmond Alexander, the veteran band nearly stole the show at Higher Ground: A Tribute to Stevie Wonder in September 2011, and continues to perform regularly around St. Louis. This Live at KDHX spotlights the group's serious instrumental skills, from crisp horn charts to psychedelic guitar impressions. Wherever and in whatever context they perform, Fresh Heir's open-minded take on funk, soul, jazz, ska and rock is never in doubt.”

— Roy Kasten, KDHX

“Horn sections are the new black. Just ask math rockers like So Many Dynamos or Americana bands like Magnolia Summer, both of which, onstage or in the studio, have gotten a cool sonic bump and blast from going brassy. Fresh Heir's horns, however, aren't just a one-off. Integrated into the ensemble, the band's brass, wickedly charted and smoothly played, makes all the difference in transcending the conventions of neo-soul and jazz fusions and making the most out of the Heir's heavy Stevie Wonder-ment. Fresh Heir grooves more than it jams, but when these folks want to light up the guitar and clavinet duels, they've got improvisational pyromania to burn.”

— Christian Schaeffer, Riverfront Times

“Starting April 9, 2010, Earthworms and Fresh Heir embarked on a tour of U.S. military bases across Europe. The trek took them to bases in Germany, the Netherlands, Kosovo, and the U.K.”

— Annie Zaleski, Riverfront Times

“Speaking of which, the hippest part of 10KLF, the Saloon Stage, was off and running in great fashion with St. Louis surprise Fresh Heir. While the majority of the music seekers flocked to the big names of Particle and Galactic, the little-known Fresh Heir brought energy and a fresh sound to the Saloon. For my money, this young group was the best catch of the three bands mentioned, led by drummer Nick Savage fusing jazz, funk, salsa and a little bit of playfulness with Skee Lo's one-hit-wonder "I Wish." Galactic was awaiting a start at the Field Stage, which came 15 minutes late due to Zappa Plays Zappa's conflicting soundcheck on the Main Stage. Few surprises came from Galactic, but the seamless closing cover of Led Zeppelin's "Kashmir" certainly capped off the set in style. -BH”
