"Beautiful, haunting, innovative music in the hands of
masters" - Sue Songer, co-author, The Portland Collection
"Virtuostic playing, lyrical melodies, mellifluous harmonies,
intelligent weaving of styles..." - Mary Sherhart
"A joy to listen to, moving the heart as well as the
feet" - Gary Whitehouse, Green
Man Review
"Their new CD In from the Cold makes it obvious
why KGB is such a thorn in the side of Homeland Security.
They are unpredictable, they never saw a border they didn't want
to cross, and their luggage is full of concepts of foreign origin.
And even worse, they shamelessly continue to enjoy themselves,
along with a growing number of friends. Where will it all lead?"
- Dick Fiddler
