“I want to share a few thoughts about my students’ recent performance with the CTS band. My symphonic strings from Mountain View High School (Mesa, Arizona) performed with CTS at a concert honoring our veterans and protective services (fire and police). My students played string backup to four tunes arranged for performance with CTS and had an absolute BLAST. The music was fun and engaging, and the band members treated the kids with warmth and respect. CTS interacted with the orchestra on both a personal and professional level giving them a true rock concert experience they will never forget. Through their love of music and sharing it with the orchestra, CTS drew the students into the performance experience getting them excited and JAZZED for an unforgettable performance.

“Thumbs up and a star rating to CTS's CD No Turning Back. Sixteen tracks of modern rock music featuring talent over volume, no matter what age this music will get you out of your chair and on your feet. This Phoenix based group consisting of; Jeff Senour (Lead Vocals & Guitar), Dave Legassey (Bass Guitar & Vocals), Steve Howes (Lead Guitar & Vocals), and Joe McGinnity (Drums), bring a freshness to good old rock'n-roll.
Deserving of the National acclaim they have received and for their performances before and for the troops here and abroad, having worked with Gary Sinisi and groups like Creedence Clearwater Revival, Molly Hatchett and Petra.
The CD is a great listen, not the cookie cutter rock heard too often today, they are unique in their diversity, ambition and direction as demonstrated on track after track. Do yourself a favor and pick up a copy, you will not be disappointed, I recommend this CD to all.

“~A TESTIMONIAL FROM LIEUTENANT GENERAL JOHN A. BRADLEY~
Jeff Senour, and his rock band, "Consider the Source" or "CTS," are an inspiration to all of us. He has a passion for supporting our nation's military service members and their families. We have seen him in action on several occasions. His heart for those who sacrifice for our country is evident in every song. He involves young people in his concerts to help them understand service to others. This is his passion. He has gone "above and beyond" in supporting our fabulous troops.
John A. Bradley, Lieutenant General, U.S. Air Force (Retired) and Jan Bradley

“Dear Jeff, Thank you for the copy of your CD. You were kind to think of me.
I am grateful for your efforts to support our troops. Our Nation owes a debt of gratitude to these brave men & women for defending our freedom and laying the foundation of peace for future generations. I am honored to be their Commander in Chief. Best wishes & may God bless America.
Sincerely,”

“Jeff and the band have touched the soul of America with their music, as they performed at the Snowball Express program.
I can give my highest recommendation to Jeff Senour and CTS for a caring and remarkable music performance at the Snowball Express event.It would bless our Military families and members serving in many distant lands to have the opportunity to hear the inspiring music of CTS. This talented group of men produces music that you could take your children and families to enjoy.

“After seeing rock band CTS live, I was impressed by the musicianship and the band's earnest approach to
gimmick-less rock songwriting. There's nothing trail-blazing in the tunes here, but fans of artists like the Gin Blossoms and John Mayer will appreciate the
deftness with which CTS recycles the rock paradigm -
soaring guitar solos, danceable beats, gritty vocals, and carefully crafted compositions abound in every original song they perform.
Highlights include, "Can't Get Off This Train', a radio
friendly, hard edged pop song with rock hooks, "Why
Couldn't We", a shuffling bluesy tune; "Too Good To
Be Real", a breathy ballad decorated with jangling
guitar hooks: and "Sound Of Freedom", an emotional
tribute to the troops that garnered the band a letter
of appreciation from President George W. Bush.
This band is a must see live, group of guys.”

“I was actually apart of the Harker Heights Orchestra that played with the CTS band(: It was a really great experience, and im glad i got to be apart of it. It really inspired me to always follow my dreams, because if you go through with it, you never know what can happen, and that it may surprise you what you can accomplish. After the concert with CTS it really showed me that the orchestra can be even more fun, extreme, and even go into a much higher level than i ever thought of. Im glad that i got to experience something that exciting, and im glad that the CTS let us join them onstage, both playing, and dancing! You guys have inspired me, and im sure many other young people all around. Thanks Jeff, and CTS for inspiring all of us, and for the great music you guys present(: It means alot to me, and im sure all of us that you guys do so much for everyone(:

““No Turning Back” by CTS and Jeff Senour, has represented sight and sound to me as if I had just began to be infected with music’s infatuation all over again.”

“I would describe who they are as anything but what you may think. From what I know – none of them knows what a “rock star” is and has no desire to; which fits them well for they are humble. They do not seek their own personal success; that gives them class. They believe that every effort of theirs is but to serve a greater good – one common to all of us; that makes them selfless. While with generous hearts offering a steadfast portion of all proceeds earned to give to what they believe in; and that makes them more of a man than I. That’s who they are. Rooted in deep Patriotism, through amazing music, CTS dedicates their talents to serve a greater cause, one which we all benefit from. They have just been men enough to stand up and do it in a time where everyone else sits things out”

“I was driving south down the
101 this morning around 6:45 a.m. or so (and of course I was listening to
this awesome band CTS, of course) and "Here I am" begins to play.
As I turn to the east while driving to see this most incredible sunrise
peak over the Superstitions. The sheer magnitude of beauty landing in my
eyes just gave me shivers as you sang the words. I began to shout out in my
truck that "Oh my God, I understand the song now". The
hairs stood up on my arms and legs for the length of the song as I found it
hard to keep my eyes on the road.
JEFF, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MUSIC YOU'VE WRITTEN THAT I TRULY BELIEVE YOU
DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW DEEPLY YOU CAN AFFECT PEOPLE...WELL AT LEAST ME. THANK
YOU, THANK YOU MY FRIEND!!!”

“Heads up everyone, if you're like myself and have been eagerly awaiting any new, blow your mind, off the charts music to come from anywhere during such a stagnated time, pay attention.
CTS is your answer, it has been mine. Grab onto these guys now so you'll be able to say " I was there just as they got huge."”
