Rising band sings more than the blues, group builds on guitars, sax for its anything-goes shows. - Craig Harris The Boston Globe
Bandleader an ace of harps. - Paul Parcellin Salem News
Phil Towne has been around for years. He used to book, and travel with A.C. Reed. He and his band have a unique approach to blues that includes what they call Swamp Soul. They have a creative way of setting up a "scene" for the audience. They take you down to the bayou with calls from strange birds and eerie guitar effects, and then warn you..."Don't get lost in the bayou."
Next they take off into a shuffle that swings with the best of them. Phil Towne has a strong voice, and obviously loves to blow harp. He is at ease on stage. He gets the audience interested
with his stories and bits of blues history. Get out to see them for yourself. - Diana Shonk The Blues Audience
"Lowdown" Phil Towne can turn an audience of jaded club goers into a a foot-stomping frenzy with his show-stopping blues harmonica and vocals. " -Donald T. Van Deusen author of "Two Shades of Blues" and Philadephia freelance writer
"The crowd joins in as the intro swamp creature noises segue into the big beat. Tables are pushed out of the way to create a dance space. The crave to boogie has arrived..." -J Place Blueswire Magazine
I don't know where he gets all that air. He must have an air tank in his leg. He knows how to pump up the people! - Jimmy Dawkins
These guys are exciting. I like it when bands are almost out of control like a train jumping the rails! - Johnny Hoy
Earthy southern-fried blues... - Paul RobicheauThe Boston Globe
