Leslie Ann Knight of KKUP-FM 91.5 called the group "one of the
tightest blues bands in the Bay Area." Check out

The group was nominated for the Outstanding Blues Club Band
award at the
19th Annual Bammies
hosted by BAM magazine. The award went to fellow bluesmeister
Tommy Castro
and his band. Tommy was a featured guest on the album
Car Fixin' Blues,
so at least the award was kept in the family.
