Here's what some of the critics are saying: New Haven Register Entertainment Editor Pat Ferrucci said, “the 10 tune effort that is ‘Hello Beautiful’, is a stellar record from the New Haven quartet… dense guitar driven, rootsy…very good songwriting from scene veterans Miller and Sutfin …Simply put. ‘Hello Beautiful’ is exactly what you’d expect from the quartet if you’ve ever seen them live, and that’s a big compliment”. New Haven Advocate, Mike Sembos: “Ten tracks of solid power…There’s plenty of substance and creativity”
