“In addition to having arguably one of the cooler band names in all of Smugtown, The Mighty High and Dry is the sum of some impressive parts. The Mighty High & Dry — Alan Murphy, vocals, guitar, keyboards; Chris Teal, drums; Kyle Vock, bass; and Mike Frederick, guitar — is a controlled outfit full of soulful nuance and hooks.”

— Frank DeBlase , City Newspaper

“Murphy and the High and Dry crew plugged GFI Music's Tony Gross into the pre-production and production equation. What emerged is the band's eponymous CD, and a beautiful blast of fresh, soulful, rootsy air. In a genre that tends to get heavy and overwrought (Wilco comes to mind, so does Ryan Adams), The Mighty High and Dry's material still has wings… it packs a quite a wallop. ”

— Frank DeBlase, City Newspaper

“Influenced by a veritable hall of fame list of rock musicians, this Rochester-based quartet is gaining some acclaim of their own. The Mighty High & Dry's sound is rooted in soulful blues, but will surprise you with its ability to funk it up with the best of 'em. The grooves are infectious, the songwriting solid, and the musicianship workmanlike. It all adds up to Heartland Rock with an almost jazzy feel. The group is scheduled to release its self-titled debut album this May, and is already receiving critical praise.”

— David Yockel, Jr., City Newspaper
