Press Quotes
“Boot-stomping and whiskey-soaked with raunchy slide guitar and smoking harmonica riffs.” ~Jackson Hole News & Guide

“Playing a mix of blues, hard rocking electric country and a few traditionals, the band evokes associations of the hard life, hard partiers, and also the warm folksiness that one inevitably comes to experience and appreciate. Guitarist-mandolinist Aaron Davis is rock solid on his solos and offers some of the set’s finest originals.” ~Planet Jackson Hole Weekly

Press Quotes
“Known for lush grooves encompassing a variety of musical styles from jazz to funk to reggae, their first album won’t disappoint their following. At once ethereal, gritty and funky, Transcend brings to mind certain cuts by Beck and Phish. The defining characteristic is texture. Though its totem plant would be sagebrush, Transcend is a rainforest of sound.” ~Planet Jackson Hole Weekly

“Transcend takes the listener to all parts of globe, in all sorts of wild places.” ~Jackson Hole News & Guide
