“Another Year Blooms (is) delightfully unpredictable, and worthy of repeated listening.”
Kati Wharton, Ocracoke Observer, June 2007
“(Home To Me is) a song of joy in response to a range of trials and triumphs.”
Charles Temple, Ocracoke Observer, June 2005
“The real draw of the band, though, is the tenderness that Marcy and Lou evince on stage, both for the music they’re playing and for each other.”
Charles Temple, review of “Live from the Outer Banks”, Ocracoke Observer, July 2003
