Press Quotes: 

"You can tell right away that this music comes from the very fiber of their souls and it is absolutely spellbinding to listen to."
Rock and Roll Report

"Woods-Smith manages to summon the weary wisdom and acquiescence of a woman much older than her own 22 years, while also possessing a wide-eyed drifter sort of sincerity. Salloway’s deep, smooth vocals compliment Woods’ perfectly, possessing all the rugged richness of an appropriate male counterpart. The instruments mirror their sound obediently, each guitar solo exhibiting the same ability to be warm, mischievous and full of spirit."
Performer Magazine

"Vocalist Celia Woods-Smith possesses a rugged yet honeyed voice, while multi-instrumentalist Avi Salloway finds inspiration from a variety of musical sources, including blues and rock."

"Making Sweet Music!"
Burlington Free Press

“More than cowboy boots and guitar solos!”
The Vermont Cynic

"Their debut disc, Off the Floor, brings together six spirited originals steeped in American musical tradition...The disc's charm lies in its relative simplicity. The sound is perfectley homey, and showcases the duo's easy going musicality... The result: a naturalistic sounding romp through bluegrass, porch blues, country, and rock."
Seven Days

"A bright and energetic combination of folk, country, bluegrass and rock… Each track, including the slower ones, is filled with so much energy… The EP is artfully arranged — its pace is perfectly timed, satisfying the listener and creating a twinge of regret when the songs give way to silence."
Performer Magazine

"Honesty is something that is certainly conveyed through their music, whether it be on stage or in the studio."
The Vermont Cynic

"Singer Celia Woods-Smith possesses a naturally smoky voice that lends itself to both dusky blues-rock and rough-edged Americana. Her band mate, Avi Salloway, performs on a variety of instruments, including steel, acoustic and electric guitars, as well as harmonica and piano."
