A highly anticipated night in the Fan district brought about a mind-blowing performance by this highly underrated jam band - Fat Apple. - JamBase

We don't get to see these guys around Mobtown all that much. Baltimore-based Fat Apple spends much of its time on the road, taking its long (sometimes all night long) "Appleland" shows to an ever-increasing fan base across the nation. We're thrilled that the Apples are finding favor throughout the land, but nothing's more wonderful than when one of the mid-Atlantic's hardest-working groups makes music for the folks at home. The quintet--drummer Dave Lawson, guitarists Scott Lloyd and Chris Pastore, percussionist Barry Cooper, and bassist Ben Whitten--makes groovaluscious music with startlingly rhythmic percussion, intricate funk passages, and killer solos. The band's self-titled debut CD features mind-blowingly clever original songs with whip-smart lyrics and a loose, funky sensibility that keeps Appleheads grooving for hours on end. If the job of a good jam-rock band is to create kindness and community through original music, Fat Apple more than fits the bill. - Baltimore City Paper
