QUOTES

 

 

 

"...Their opening song was a slow yet vivacious tune incorporating jazz, funk and folk into the mixture of flute and guitar...the songs seemed more like poetry with a great beat...some lyrics heart wrenching and some making me think about life...Sytek and Davies stand apart from the mundane, unoriginal performances many artists present...Hints of Irish, African, Asian and Mexican music reveal themselves throughout their various songs, with each song in a world by itself...unique, mesmerizing and enjoyable.....it sent chills down my arms despite the warm fire crackling behind me...." ~Danielle Behrle, Forth Estate, University of WI Green Bay

​
