“What a beautiful thing I have made is achingly raw and breathtakingly alive: The Oregon group’s radiant, resonant music provides a captivating backdrop for life’s deeper questions and considerations, compelling us to step back out of our everyday and once again dive deep into ourselves, our worlds, and the things that make our lives worth living.” ~ Mitch Most, Atwood Magazine

“The group’s juxtaposition of weighty and contemplative lyrics against warm and inviting melodies is extremely rewarding.” ~ Twangville

"A thinking man’s showcase with lively & imaginative songs.” ~ John Apice, Americana Highways
