"Like a Bertolt Brecht house band at the end of the world, these Murfreesboro minstrels are far more cabaret than rock ‘n’ roll - right down to the Vaudevillian costumes and avant-garde stage act. There are rock precedents here, mostly in the Waits-like Carney music, early Camper Van Beethoven gypsy polkas, Devotchka fandangos, and Dresden Dolls burlesque. But with all those violin, viola, Wurlitzer, accordion, banjo, trumpet, cornet, clarinet and glockenspiel accents, you could just as easily be transported to Weimar Germany in the 20s, liebchen" - Creative Loafing

"Equal parts circus side show and Captain Beefheart, Juan Prophet Organization mine a vein of frenzied art-rock that challenges listeners without sounding pretentious. Expect nerdy, whimsical lyrics and loads of mid-song tempo changes." The Nashville Scene

"Juan Prophet Organization is often described as a Vaudevillian art-rock band, due to the diversity of musical influences they incorporate into their own music---influences ranging from Phillip Glass and the Rachels to Mother Goose and Danny Elfman. JPO's penchant for perfoming in costume also might have something to do with it." Natalie Kilgore, The Rage.

"The band's members act as tour guides in a wild ride through countless musical genres with grace and style...without losing the audience's interest." Christopher Magan, Sidelines.

"Murfreesboro's bizarro-pop stalwarts Juan Prophet Organization play-act morbid lullabies with stunning Tom Waits abstraction, combing the hyperbolic minefields of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy with an avant-garde relish. It's a kaleidoscopic grab bag of Dixieland jazz, chamber pop, vaudeville and an anything goes dictum pureed to perfection."
Joey Hood, Nashville Scene.

On the downside just after moving they were ROBBED! And Grayson had her violins stolen so they're unable to play shows... if you live in the area and have a lead on where a loaner violin could be obtained drop them a line.
I was just rubbing cocoa butter on my thighs and thought of y'all! No really, Palmer's cocoa butter, its the best! I miss you so much! Glad to hear Raja is doing so well. Kisses.
...we would totally dig it if you let us play your music on our station, and write about your story. And of course everything would link back to your website or myspace page.
Please let us know. Thanks Alex
