-- Chicago Tribune

"It was part high-school gymnasium, part honky-tonk, and you had to enter through a sports bar. On a recent Thursday night, three alt-country bands converged on a North Center tavern to compete for a $200 prize and the right to advance to the next phase of TwangOff, a grown-up battle of the bands for spiritual decendants of Williams, Nelson and Cash from well north of the Mason-Dixon line."
-- CityTalk

Twice picked as an entertainment "Best Bet"
