“[Their] combined and individual voices will make you think you have somehow been placed in the company of Angels. There is a power in this music that is undeniably compelling and compliments the nature of the songs . . . This is a band that relies on the strength of the material they write or chose to sing, the musicianship of both the singers and musicians and the absolute integrity of the performances. . . . Most of the instrumentation is acoustic which allows the strength of the voices and the stunning harmonies to shine on thru. This is truly a band that is aptly named.” – Bob Gottlieb, Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange |
“The Angel Band sounds more earthy than ethereal. . . . You can feel the flesh and blood pulsate through the country and bluegrass music as they harmonize. . .” – Steve Horowitz, PopMatters.com
