"The Killer Bees keep the fans of the band and on-goers of the SIlverton wine&jazzfest event dancing in the streets of silverton,oregon. The shop that the band was playing in was packed and no one could get in to see the band, so folks of many ages started gathering in the streets outside of the bussiness,to the sounds of the band.
Many folks had told me about the band performance that day, and so i thought id see what was going on with all the buzzz. To my suprise were hundreds of people outside of the shop waiting to catch a glimpse of the band in action and i was intrigued myself. When i finally made my way into the venue, i was amazed at the great music and energy of the young frontman in the band and the tightness of the band. - Both powerful and pleasing." - Statesman Journal. - Statesman Journal Newspaper

A Quote From the Statesman Journal
"- As Iwas leaving the festival I kept heard many people telling me and others to go see Tommy Hogan and the Killer Bees, who were playing down the street at the festival. I went to see the band.The building they were performing is was packed. I could not get in the building. The crowd packed the venue and the line was out the door and down the street.There were even people dancing in the streets. The music sounded great! I would describe the band as passionate, energetic and very crowd pleasing" -
