"Gregg Juke & The Mighty No-Stars"

"From the gutbucket exuberance of 'Wild & Blue' to 'Elmwood Shuffle,' with its rollicking celebration of Buffalo's past, present, and future, 'Gregg Juke & The Mighty No-Stars: Blues Power' is contemporary blues at its best. Gregg Juke and company bring us along a journey of discovery that makes us glad we took the trip." - Jim Santella; WBFO FM/The Buffalo News


"Jack Prybylski (review of "Soho Strut")"

..." 'Carnival' lets everyone show their talents, with excellent guitar work from Walt Sopicki, and Tito Puente percussion from Gregg Juke." - Bob Silvestri; www.BestofWNY.com


"Jack Prybylski (review of "Soho Strut")"
