"Allen Cote might not look like much - a scruffy, dark-haired wanderer with aviator glasses, a camo jacket, a cheap cigarette dangling from his mouth - but get him talking or put a guitar in his hands, and Cote imparts a depth of wisdom unknown to most 25-year-old songwriters [...] He speaks directly to the listener, almost with a burning hunger, but it's not necessarily love he's craving. It seems as though he wants some sort of commiseration between artists, or sympathy, or, maybe, an agreement between the listener and the songwriter that there's something greater than either of them."

"Hands down the best musician any of us have ever played with."
- Jordan Burich, quoted in The Onion AV Club, 7-26-07
"Deserves a PBR for his lovely steel guitar work."

"Legend has it that Chris DeMay called a few friends (namely: Quinn and Joe Kirschling of Quinn Scharber and The ..., plus members of The Championship) a few days before the annual Neil Young tribute show and said, 'hey, can we learn a couple songs?' And then they did, and the 15 minutes they were on stage were some of the most scorching minutes of live music I saw all year. I feel like I had a taste of how a Milwaukee supergroup would look and sound, and I really, really liked it."

Cote, you look like James Brolin from the 70s soap "Hotel"... you handsome devil!
If the law will allow it, I'll be up there sooner than later. You'll be the first to know if I'm coming to Wisconsin, there is a good chance I'll be up there in the fall (Packers and all). I'd like to bring my band and double bill w/ The Championship around those parts. When are you heading back to Tejas?
Hello Allen - Getting on your nerves yet? Well if not I will try harder, only joking of course. I keep checking the dates to see if you will grace us once again with your presence in Texas, I must miss you I guess :o) I hope all is well my friend!
