Press

"They are the spiritual goddaughters of a tradition that spans the hidden history of music - of performance, actually - from Medieval troubadours reciting poetry in some noble's palace, to Chaucer's Canterbury pilgrims spinning bawdy tales. From Renaissance street minstrels, to singers in turn-of-the-century saloons in New Orleans (where the city's police posted signs warning patrons to BEWARE OF PICKPOCKETS AND LOOSE WOMEN, a line used in the Troubadours' "Scarlet Carnival"). From performers in outdoor cafes in France after the First World War serenading the Lost Generation, to acts in cabarets in 1920s Berlin - "Wilkommen, Bienvenue, Welcome" - a handful of years before the monsters came out. From flower-child jams in Haight-Ashbury, to singer-songwriter nights entertaining a new set of nobility."

— Tim Roberts- Louisville Music News

"folk based melodies, some sassy jazz local riffs, a touch of the blues, a hint of zydeco, all mixed into a cosmic cocktail of bliss and joy"

— - Marty Rosen Courier Journal

"It is a scream! It's a tranquilizer! It's a riot and a philosophy class! It might even move the stoics! It's the only product you will ever require."

— David Lilly-Nefarious Magazine

"A street party duo of voracious shapeshifters who are able to morph from folksy bluegrass to jazz seductress with nothing more than between song jousting!"

— Louisville Eccentric Observer

"Their acoustic music with a streak of old-timer flavor appeals to those who like the female camaraderie and harmonies of the Indigo Girls but are looking for something with a bit more weirdness, humor and range...sultry narratives...vaudeville send-ups...luscious covers...Aim Me and Renee move from pathos to flippancy with breathtaking speed."

— Anastasia Pantsios- The Cleveland Scene

"They are the embodiment of a new generation of Folk Artists who have taken the genre to the next level...with a 21st Century Creative Edge. Since their appearance, the Troubadours have stolen the hearts of the Blissfest faithful" -Jim Gillespie, Blissfest Founder

— Blissfest

"Harmonies smooth as Kentucky Bourbon & soft as Spanish Moss"

— Carla Riggs, Medimax

"Best New Folk Band in New Orleans"

— Offbeat Magazine

"Best Louisville Folk Band"

— Leo Weekly

"Explanation is Futile...Only Seeing is Believing"

— Courier Journal
