”Together, these four string wizards explore the many possibilities that arise at the intersection of traditional sounds from both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. The results are vibrant, immersive, and fun.” — Ben Salmon, The Best Country Music on Bandcamp July 2025, The Daily

“Performed deftly and thoughtfully, it’s full of nooks and crannies to be explored.” —Flagpole (Gordon Lamb).

“Ace old-time fiddler Jason Cade has a broader vision for the music. His new album has the same great fiddling but also features Paddy League, whose Irish guitar and greek bouzouki accompaniment meshes wonderfully with the tunes , plays off lively mountain dulcimer, and calls to mind great Irish/old-time mashups of old.” — Devon Leger, Songlines Magazine

“The tune selection is great and the execution is powerful and rhythmic. I give it my highest recommendation.” —Folkworks (Steve Goldfield)
