“Mix hot-saucy Texas honky-tonk, city-slicker indie pop, jam-grass mischief, cool jazz
and big-band swing, and you’ve about half-described this hot Austin band …”
— The Boston Globe

“… their instrumental virtuosity, tricky arrangements and sophisticated songwriting touch moves their music beyond fun revivalism. ... They're capable of moving in most any direction they wish.” — Nashville Scene

“The debut album [WANDERIN’] captures the rich musical heritage of The Outfit’s
influences, coming across with skill and confidence that often eludes such a young
group.” — Creative Loafing-Atlanta

“[The talented 20-somethings … take elements of jazz, swing and newgrass and blend it all together in new and interesting ways.” — R&R/Billboard Americana Artist Spotlight

“… the sextet is one of Austin’s most musically accomplished and adventuresome, mixing gypsy swing, big-band jazz, a touch of bluegrass and some Walter Hyatt covers into a unique mix that flows like a whiskey river.” — The Austin Chronicle

“… Violinist Phoebe Hunt’s sultry alto colors guitarist Rob Teter’s high, reedy tenor like a ribbon of caramel, while Connor Forsyth’s high-spirited piano keys the sextet’s hipswinging caper. …” — Independent Weekly

“… This music isn't simple three-chord pop. These are … complex tunes musically
featuring some of the best playing you’re likely to hear! How they have been able to
develop such a tight sound this quickly is a testament to the band’s talent. …”
— Americana Roots

“[WANDERIN’ is] toe-tapping … The violin player Phoebe Hunt is phenomenal … with
some great Grapelli-Reinhardt-style guitar-violin interplay on the original ‘Caroline.’
And the group’s twin guitars, Rob Teter and Marshall Hood, seem to be able to play any style of music with ease and panache. …” — The Monterey County Herald
