Press

"Few bands can span styles and generations to keep a diverse room of rock, folk, indie, gospel, and country fans glued to the stage. Having The Wayside perform at our venue's two-show anniversary celebration was a fitting tribute to our five years of musical transcendence. The band seems as though they'd be equally at home in a coffeehouse, pub, church, or club. Their own songs sound like they should be covered, and their cover songs sound like their own. Mixing intelligent songwriting with Michelle's haunting melodies, John's vocal and instrumental ingenuity, and some of the best backing players that Nashville has to offer, something special can happen on any given night. It did here."

— Jeremy Gudauskas, The Union - Naperville IL

“The songs, performances, acoustic and electric instruments (including dobro- which I do love so) coupled with “we did this in a big living-room with sincerity” vibe is plain fetching not to mention edifying.”

— Glenn Kaiser, GlennKaiserOnline (Blog)

“…the duo especially shines on a breathtaking reading of "Psalm 51" and the Americana-styled "Pass Me Not, O Gentle Savior." Yet the true gem lies in a country cover of Kris Kristofferson's "Why Me, Lord?," soaked in a country/blues sentiment and a surrender-filled sense of spiritual fulfillment.”

— Andy Argyrakis, Christianity Today
