Press Reviews:
Robert Fontenot (Offbeat Magazine)
“Augmented by an impressive horn section and some excellent vocal work, the Moondogs, ride a tight, fat groove that can only be generated by tireless bar-band vets. Tradition never sounded so good.”
Cynthia Jardan (The View-entertainment magazine)
“…You’ve got a group that can switch from funk to R&B/Gospel to rock and back again without taking a deep breath. The musicianship of this group is outstanding—piano, sax, brass, rhythm and vocals cannot be beat.”
Buck Lancer (Portfolio Magazine)
“This is a kick-ass rock/funk/gospel/swing/blues band producing some dynamite professional music. A perfect 10!”
