“Troubadour North is spectacular. Simple, smooth and relaxing. Stellar production, angelic vocals and sensual instrumentation. A hybrid of folk and soft rock. Overall this band creates mood music.”

— 360 Mag, 360 Mag

““The instruments start of the song with a really awesome groove. The harmonies are very well done, they don't overpower the lead vocal. There's really not a bad thing to say about this song. I really like the sound of the lead vocalist's voice. All the instrumentation throughout the song fit the song really well. It's a very laid back groovy feel, like one of those days you're just sitting on a boat or a beach without a care in the world. If all your tunes carry that feel, keep at it. Great song.””

““The guitar is very relaxing. I would download this song. The man has a very nice voice, with a nice amount of rasp. It would do well on the radio, online, in movies. I would play it in a car, I would dance to it. I would use it as a soundtrack in a movie or on tv. I think it would do very well on the radio. I really enjoy the lyrics. I like the slow tempo and the rich quality of the singer's voice. It is clean clear and on key and pitch. It is sung well. I would pay $1.29 for it on itunes.””

““A nice rock intro with the electric guitar. Not too fast, not too slow. A nice, quick rock tempo. When the bass guitar dropped in, it blended in nicely and did not drown out the electric guitar. I loved the vocalist's voice; there's no vibrato in his voice. Drum beat was not a simple, "beginner" beat, but it wasn't over-the-top or overtaking the rest of the instruments. The guitar solo was a very nice mid-way in the song. The lyrics about trying to live life the right way, or pay the consequences is a very good message to get across. Especially towards the younger generation. I quite enjoyed the beat change around 4:30 in the song, it was a nice change-up from the rest of the song's melody without being too out-there so as to confuse the listener. The ending also faded out very well. I really don't have any suggestions for making this song any better. Over all, I believe it was a perfect ten out of ten.””

“Boston meets The Eagles who then meets Creed. This is exceptionally wonderful! I loved everything about this song! The blend, sound, and mix is fantastic! I loved the electric guitar instrumental in the into and the middle of the song. The electric melody was soothing and familiar. It is the type of progression that makes me feel like I am on a road trip with my bare feet on the dash board and the window rolled down. The vocalist has such an enjoyable voice. It sounds vaguely familiar but also different. He was controlled in singing, as well as crisp in articulating. I felt that the lyrics made sense and flowed together nicely. The sound was just superb! The musicians actually sounded like they really knew what they were doing, which is always refreshing for listeners. This piece was dynamic and exciting. Just when I think it is going somewhere it takes me somewhere different. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to them and want to hear much more from them! Excellent job!”

— Reverbnation Crowd Review, "Hell to Pay" Comment

“While the band members of Troubadour North love playing at venues around Kenai, Soldotna, and the like, they have their collective sights set on something bigger. Eric Doucet (lead vocals/ rhythm acoustic guitar), Rusty Singleton (bass), Scott Stahlecker (drums), and Lee Gattenby (back-up vocals/lead electric guitar) started collaborating in November 2010 as what Gattenby refers to as a "throw-together band." "We're going to spread ourselves out beyond our humble surroundings," Gattenby said definitively. "I mean, I love it here. But (we) want to be playing in front of 20,000 to 30,000 individuals."”
