"Riding the Beggars-Banquet ambitions of singer Patrick Phelan, Luego delivered a set of good-old boozy country rock that had enough vibrant life and good turns of phrase to still sound fresh."
-The Daily Tar Heel, Diversions - June 2009 - Jordan Lawrence
"The new lineup has coalesced, transforming Luego from a timid, folky indie-pop band into a self-assured, Southern-rooted unit blending classic pop and roots rock" -Independent Weekly (Ral-Dur-Chap Hill, NC) - June 2009
"This new Luego has traded its orchestral dabbling for a rock solid foundation in Neil Young-type roots rock, Comboland pop and even a touch of T. Rex swagger." -Independent Weekly (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC) - January 2009
"A month after Luego's drummer sold his kit and gave up drumming, frontman Patrick Phelan has picked up the pieces, recruited some sidemen and now continues to offer well-tempered rock songs with audacious vocals and a symphonic touch. Max Indian joins the bill with a refined lineup and a PBR-approved approach to pop. Roman Candle's Jeff Crawford opens with his charming solo pop project. $5/ 10 p.m." -Independent Weekly (Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC) - October 2008
"they're busy now backing frontman Patrick Phelan's passionate lyrics about driftwood orchestras. He's got a quirky inflection and a hint of swagger to pit against the band's largely sunny jangle." -Independent weekly (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, NC) - July 2007
"Luego is a new one to watch in Durham. Part of the band's smarts lies in its balance between warm, folksy Dylan-esque rock-economics and the solid build of weepy symphony strings." -Independent weekly (Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill, NC) - October 2007
"Luego embodies everything that is great about the local music culture. We have very talented and hard working bands that place as much importance on fans enjoying the night as they do about their music being perfect. "

Happy Holidays! Hope you’re enjoying the season so far. Seems it has been quite some time since I spent some time on Myspace. I have been busy altering my website at www. tonycowger. com to reflect my newest efforts in the freelance and ghost writing markets and focus less on my own novel. Anyway, I hope the rest of your year is wonderful and that the new year holds all the abundance you want. If you or someone you know is in need of some writing help please send them my way at www. tonycowger. com. (For any help I receive from my Myspace friends I am offering a 10% finders fee to say thank you for helping out a friend so be sure to write and let me know in case your friend forgets to tell me. If you hire me yourself, that 10% would be taken off what you pay so, either way, you win.) I have experience in writing sales ads/presentations, non-fiction and, of course, fiction. Thanks and happy holidays!
