“Any bluegrass band that puts Traffic and Pink Floyd in their set list is going to stand out. Then, take it to a new level with some jazz chords and riffs, and it’s a completely different sound. Not denigrating anyone, but Mark Schimick may be the best mandolin player out there right now.”

“Songs From The Road Band” Is one of my favorite collaborations to ever come out of the Asheville music scene. I’ve known Mark Schimick since he was a 17 year old kid, standing in my kitchen at 4 o’clock in the morning wailing on the mandolin. The rest, Ive met in recent years, but it’s like I’ve known them all of their lives.”-Steve “Big Daddy” McMurry
“Their founding concept was intriguing from the start – assembling a group of artists with established credentials in the more progressive bluegrass scene to play original material of a more mainstream grass style.” -John Lawless, Bluegrass Today
