“All my friends thought you ROCKED. Thanks for the fun and the dancing.” “We had a GREAT time!!! Enjoyed you guys VERY much…. we will be back again!!!!”

Out of the four originals I heard I honestly think three are top 10 material. Great to see you back at being who you are… An EXCELLENT performer Sam. You’re band is tight. Your voice has REALLY matured into a solid, Sam Harmon, sound of your own. LOOOOVED your voice especially on Teach Me. Wish you guys could get more exposure outside the NW. I think you all could do REALLY well.”

” I love your shows and you make the audience feel like it is one big family rather than a band and then audience.”

“Damn…I wish we would have known you guys were on this Rose festival stage…we wouldn’t have wasted our time at the Rose Festival Countryfest”
