“[they] alternate between upbeat country shuffles, torchy, sophisticated, retro jazzy pop and occasional indie-folk with a playful yet terse backdrop of understated guitar lit up in places with accordion, trumpet and violin, propelled by a briskly tasteful rhythm section.”
- Alan Young, Lucid Culture (Sep 17, 2009)
“a colorful palette of old-time swing and honky-tonk inflections… leading lady Christa DeCicco casts a spell on her audience with her alluring, good-natured presence and lyrical wit while leading a procession of unplugged strings and percussion.”
- Creative Loafing (Sep 09, 2009)
“Despite the band’s vintage dresses and suits and unassuming stage presence, smooth and sultry DeCicco’s lyrics deliver thoroughly modern tales of love won and lost with wit and passion. ”
- Anthony Fanger, End Times Spasm Band (Aug 09, 2009)
“Awfully nice to see a group working in an oldtimey milieu yet with a sound all their own.”
- Alan Young, Lucid Culture (Sep 17, 2009)
“…the tunes are as catchy as any modern pop song. Lead singer Christa DeCicco’s sassy speakeasy croon gleefully dances with the boys’ Tin Pan Alley instrumentation, and her lyrical prose is sharper than ever. ”

“Their new album, Custom Made for You, would sound at home on a 1930s phonograph or in a juke joint crammed with swing dancers in saddle shoes and suspenders.”
- Leslie Wylie, The Metro Pulse (Dec 08, 2008)
“The songs, from the languid opener to the bouncing title track, hum with an independent, feminine energy. It’s a sensual-sounding album that comes across as playful and flirtatious…”
- Steve Wildsmith, The Daily Times (Dec 15, 2008)
“The group’s debut album, “Love and Circumstances,” introduced audiences to DiCicco’s warm, sometimes sultry voice and a band that knows how and when to swing. The group manages to sound both retro with its acoustic country and jazz, and modern at the same time.”
- Wayne Bledsoe, Knoxville News Sentinel (Dec 11, 2008)
