“These bluesy roots-rockers are veterans of a million one-nighters and afternoon jams. Their well-honed chops serve them well on their debut CD Searchin' for a River (available at Into the Music and McNally Robinson)”
Darryl Sterdan - Winnipeg Sun

“Between his picking (which is gruff and gritty or supple and slinky as required), the band's jam-honed chops, they prove adept at everything from blues and country to reggae to jazz.”
Darryl Sterdan - Winnipeg Sun

Jeff Monk - Winnipeg FreePress
