"To quote Bill Monroe, 'This is powerful music!' With Too Blue, the total is much more than the sum of the parts, and the parts are mighty fine: swing-grass, 12 tracks with 9 original tunes, hot pickin' & sweet singin'. Nice work, guys and gals." -Barry Mitterhoff, Mandolinist, Jorma Kaukonen
"Smooth harmonies, adventurous musicianship, and eclectic material... Ah, music for grown-ups." -Eric Gibson, The Gibson Brothers (IBMA 2011 award winners)
"Too Blue is a fantastic band with great singing, great picking and large dollops of creativity. The album features beautifully clean production values and the sound is always fresh...eclectic, but not bouncing off the walls. I was impressed. I think you will be too." - Tony Trischka, Grammy nominated banjo legend
"Too Blue does it all - bluegrass, swing, originals, country covers, and more, and they do it with instrumental virtuosity, excellent singing, and great good humor. Too Blue is Too Good!" -Chris Teskey, Senior Music Producer, WAMU-FM
Recorded at Ampersand Records(Johnny Cash, Vassar Clements)
