"Elegant, sophisticated and refreshingly open-hearted, singer-guitarist Margan pens wonderfully literate and melodically inventive songs that he has orchestrated for a most unusual but oh-so effective ensemble of musicians featuring drums, bass, keyboards, violin, cello, clarinet and flute. This is chamber music for the 21st century, and it simply sparkles."
-Greg Haymes, The Times Union
"Eric Margan’s songs and aesthetic are from another time: His musical influences seem drawn entirely from before he was born. His jazz-leaning, ornate, orchestral pop is unlike anything that’s come out of the Capital Region in as long as we can remember, and the band’s busy gig schedule has amassed them a devoted, even defensive, fan base. Trust us: This band will be going places."
-John Brodeur, Metroland
"Singer/songwriter Eric Margan’s unhurried melodies and subtle orchestrations are sweet and disarming. This accomplished multi-instrumentalist has been inspired by his time in the studio with folk and jazz heavy hitters Pete Seeger, Richie Havens and David Amram."
-Peter Wise, The Berkshire Fringe

Music is my life! I work on instruments for a living. Pure sound impresses me. A lot of which are coming from the east coast. I search around and listen, bands send me links, But mostly the bands that perk my ears I will look at there top list and really dig in that way..... Do you find it funny to know someone from the midwest, that has never been to NYC yet knows such a an underdog of a band? That is really cool that you commented me such a random question... I approve!! Peace~*
