“The crowd was really amped up before we even took the stage thanks to the Wild Colonial Bhoys. They kicked ass!”

“A really talented band that simply knows how to rock.”
—Patrick Murphy, Gaelic Storm

“The Wild Colonial Bhoys have taken on an impossible task and made it work… original songs that hit it big with me both lyrically and musically throughout a whole CD. A duo of acoustic guitars with some of the best original tunes I’ve heard in a while by a duo turned up to 11 with their rockin’ band backing them. The best way to describe their sound on this CD is take the Young Dubliners, The Elders, Carbon Leaf, and Great Big Sea into a blender… you’d have a Wild Colonial Bhoy smoothie! Pick this one up… you won’t be disappointed!”
—John Bowles, Paddyrock.com

“The Wild Colonial Bhoys have perfected their craft and seem to be ready to reap the rewards. These guys should be on stage at every major Irish music festival in North America as they easily and happily performed a flawless set for the huge and appreciative crowd that turned out in their native Minneapolis / St. Paul. You will most definitely see more of this band as the cream always eventually rises to the top.”
—Irish American Blogspot

—Dermot Cowley, Owner, O’Donovan’s Irish Pub, Minneapolis, MN
