FFA - Live @ Rockwood, 6-28-07


Fools For April is all about simplicity. Simple, strong songs, with simple, raw production; tasteful playing and pure emotion. Their fresh sound crosses genres of pop, folk, blues, and rock.

"(FFA) is one of the better songwriting teams I have come across in a bunch of years...simply really great…original sound without much comparison."
Michael Dorf, Founder of the Knitting Factory, NYC.

“…mellow duo Fools for April…cover “Help” as John would have wanted it.”
Village Voice

“The chance to see new talent break out is one of the great perks of such an event, and Wednesday it was the [New York]-based band Fools for April's beautiful version of "Mona Lisas & Mad Hatters," a New York song for a New York band. Throughout the evening, as various members of Fools for April came back to play back-up for other performers, they offered additional reasons to look toward their as-yet unreleased debut CD with anticipation.”
The New York Sun Review from the Elton John tribute show @ Carnegie Hall
