“This little folk pop duo creates music that is beautiful, heartfelt and never fails to transport me to a happier place. Jane’s understated and delightful vocals are perfectly complimented by a mix of ukulele, guitar and the pure poetry of their lyrics. This husband and wife duet embraces the heart of folk and pop and infuses it into an energetic and powerful concoction. The overwhelming sheer talent of this twosome is beautiful to watch live and has brought to life some of those little Canadian tidbits this country has become known for: diversity & heart. ”

— Franki Figgs, herbedisdeadly

“Side One is Courtship, Side Two is the Nuptials. So this is a concept record by a real-life London music couple. The Marrieds is happy and intelligent pop about a true partnership in love and music from that couple, Jane Carmichael and Kevin Kennedy. Try to resist Take Me to California, an ultra-catchy plea for a trip to there. Oh wait. I Love You So is even ultra-catchier. Okay, try to resist any of it. Carmichael and Kennedy have separate gigs away from the Marrieds. Still this is a 2011 hit that begs for another installment in the song saga. ”

— James Reaney, The London Free Press

“...enjoyable album with strong songs...”

— Bob Mersereau, East Coast Music with Bob Mersereau

“Take Me To California is a sweet little upbeat tune and it was sunshine at 5:45 on a gloomy Saturday.”

— Amanda Putz, CBC Radio One's Bandwidth

“...this London based duo has managed to put together a 10-track collection of enjoyable, original pop/folksy/country tinged tunes on their self-titled debut CD. Recorded with producer/engineer, Bob Breen, the album really acts as a musical tribute to courtship and marriage with Carmichael and Kennedy creating sweet harmony on tracks like 'Back To You,' 'Mixed Up,' and 'A Little Starlight.'”

— John Sharpe, Scene Magazine

“Myself and the London Music Club recently held the first annual Back To The Garden Roots Music Festival near London, Ontario. One of the crowd favourites was The Marrieds.”

— Brent Jones, Festival Organizer

“Jane & Kevin are endearing and charming, and are hitting the stage with a fresh sound that is bringing a hip new “folky-pop” to a younger generation.”

— Franki Figgs

“The realness of The Marrieds track (Back to You) is apparent, which is why I selected them. Technology in the right hands is a good thing. Where it goes off the rails is when it's used to mask a lack of talent. ”

— Alan Cross

“Husband-and-wife team (surprise!) with some quiet alt-pop with some country-ish vocals. Pleasant stuff. ”

— Alan Cross, A Journal of Musical Things
