"As a record reviewer, musician, DJ, and fan, I was still not prepared for how fabulous the songs from the new CD are.  I've always thought Dennis was one of the greatest singers around, and I've never heard him sound better. As for Patti, when she gives out that little 'aw' toward the end, I get weak in the knees. The band is tight and grooving, especially the rhythm section, the songs are classics, and the production is impeccable. Who wouldn't want to hire this band?"  

"I received your CD in the mail yesterday. I took it home last night and was playing it during dinner...... Good Stuff!  The problem I am going to have is peeling from my youngest daughters hands. She ejected it from the CD player and proceeded to walk away with it!  I think you have made a new fan. Go figure a 17 year old jamming with the Fins! My daughter sings in her school choir and is amazed in the clarity and tone of your female lead singer. Looks like I am going to have to buy another one for myself.
Great job on the CD!"

"Holy Cow! The excerpts are fantastic! Have you guys considered maybe playing some of the festivals around town? Y'know, like Wildflower, or Artfest or something? It's probably too late for this year, but maybe next year? Do you guys just do covers, or have you written some originals too? Wow wow wow!?"

"I just wanted to take a moment to say WOW and THANKS!!! I saw The Fins doing a gig in Irving and I was SO impressed!!!! You guys are amazing!! Your lead guitarist is exceptionally talented, your singers are unbelievable, bassist is an anchor, drummer is outta sight, sax is beyond impressive and your pianist is superb!! It takes alot to evoke this kind of praise from me when it comes to musicians, but I'm honestly having a hard time coming up with enough words that convey the sheer talent I witnessed that evening!! Please keep me informed of ALL your up-coming gigs, 'cause I want to be there for ALL OF THEM!!!!!!!!!! You guys are the best live performance I've seen since the great Carlos Santana himself ten years ago!! (and i've seen alot!!) You covered songs I didn't think could be done by anyone, and I've never been more happy to be proven wrong!! YOU GUYS ROCK!!!! THANKS FOR SUCH AN ENERGETIC AND OUTSTANDING SHOW!!! I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!!"

"This is AWESOME!!! Jammed to it several times in a row. Your sax player is great!"

— Carla (Fan from Orlando (after listening to the live CD)

"Me and Frank gotta have one (t-shirt) each man! That is so cool! We've been listening to your CD over and over all day :) (my office hooks onto Frank's). Do you want us to start booking you gigs up here?"

— Stacey (Fan from Baltimore)

"Excellent Demo!!!! You gonna be touring to Birmingham, Alabama anytime soon???"

*hugs*

"Your band sounds like it does a storming live set, next step youtube if you can't make any of the Birminghams (that is the one in England too)"

"MAN ALIVE!!!!!! Well, it do sound like you've done your motivatonal work well. Just got to hear it, 'cause I had to come home sick (seriously, boss, all I feel like doing is listening to music, it's the only thing that'll heal me), and I love it! Beautiful, nicely balanced recording to these ears. Everything is audible, nothing steps on anything else, the drums are great sounding, snare has that perfect "splat" like it's supposed to, and the bass playin'!!! SWEET! Loved the accent change on 'The Letter,' a great record that I thought couldn't be improved on. It would probably even perk up poor Alex Chilton. Very soulful, as is everything here. The female singer is burning, and so perfectly in synch--I especially like 'Good Rockin' Daddy.' Above all, y'all sound like you were having the best time, something that's missing on a lot of workman-like but otherwise good records these days."

"It was the best variety of music I've ever heard in a local band and I was thoroughly impressed with everyone. I wish the guys in my band had half the talent!"

"This place usually is empty by 11 o'clock. It's midnight and the place is packed! Everyone was calling their friends on cell phones to come see you guys!"
