:::::past announcements:::::

"intriguing brand of progressive roots music borrows liberally from funk, gospel, avant-jazz and bluegrass."
-- Time Out New York

"Steele's violin work evokes the instrument's deep history and globe-spanning heritage. He and Lavalle have strong folk roots, but they surpass the boundaries of the genre with music that embraces opposites — folksy and discordant, easygoing and frenzied — in search of transcendence."
--Beacon Pass

"Brooklyn's own dirty church band"
--The Brooklyn Paper

Stay tuned!

New Press on late bloomer from our California tour:

"Steele and his band make artful leaps across musical boundaries"
--George Varga, San Diego Union Tribune

it's a nice feature. Click to read the whole piece.

Other recent press:

Nate Chinen of the New York Times made favorable mention of late bloomer in last week's jazz listings, calling us "rustic and worldly."
Couldn't have said it better myself. Here's the piece.

The folks from lucidculture.com heard us at Barbes in January and had this to say:

"....thoughtful, meditative instrumentals, full of beautiful little intricacies, often absolutely mesmerizing: you can get completely lost in this stuff...."

Cadence Magazine reviews late bloomer:

"It's clear that this crew is ready to stretch out in a million different directions and have tons of fun doing it.... Steele's fiddle darts in and out of the oddball rhythmic structures with great panache and rhythmic assurance.... Steele's fabulous tone and inventive solo sense didn't just happen overnight." --July, 2008
