COMMENTS FROM CONCERT ATTENDEES
“The vocals, the guitars, the keyboards, the drums—all of jaw-dropping excellence. This band could be dropped into any venue—6th Steet in Austin, Greenwich Village, Memphis, Chicago, St. Louis—and this would be the draw. The bar hosting them would be dealing with lines around the block.” Gary – Fargo, ND
“Great Show!!!!” Bob – Saint Paul, MN
“We LOVED this concert. We’re looking forward to the next show.” Kris – Moorhead, MN
“This band never disappoints!” Ken – Minneapolis, MN
