"So earthy and fresh is your music. I love it." - Lloyd "Tommy" Doss, Sons of the Pioneers
“Their music embodies reverence -- for the craft of songwriting, for the folk tradition, for the audiences they sing to and for this complicated, terrible, beautiful world that we live in. Kate's earthy banjo and her emotive voice ring with compassion and hope; Steve's spot-on guitar leads and wry sense of humor are grounding, organic, the perfect complement. But all time stops when they sing together. Close your eyes and listen to that blend, friends -- that's where the love really shines through." - Tracy Grammer
"Kate Power write songs from before time." - Kim Stafford
"Exquisite!" - Eric Andersen
"You two are the best, the absolute best!" - Dave Carter
