“The amount of energy and sound that belts out from just the two musicians [Jamie & Ashley] is mesmerizing. And while their chemistry is apparent on their recently released album Zephyr In The Confetti Factory, the real magic happens during their live performances. This is roots-based progressive acoustic string music that inspires, intrigues, and above all else, entertains.” (Knoxville Metro Pulse, 9/30/07)

“One of the best Celtic duos to play at the Freight and Salvage [Berkeley, CA]. They take the form and stretch it into new styles, weaving in and out of each other in delightful duets.” (East Bay Express, 9/5/07)

“I saw Jamie and Ashley in a concert in California and it was one of the best live performances of any type I've seen. The music is original and unusual, the chemistry between the two is captivating and the performances were virtuoso.” (Terry South, Walnut Creek, CA)

“I was mesmerized tonight. Jamie and Ashley embrace the history of this music and then make it their own -- not just reproduce it, but almost reinvent it -- keeping its legacy alive for our time.” (Bryan Pollard, Winston-Salem, NC)
