"They are very, very good.  That's why I keep having them back."
- Buddy Guy

"Bloody excellent!."

-Hugh Laurie

"The Reverend's ability to keep a crowd going all night long is a matter of haunted local legend."

-Brian Barney, Shepherd Express

"I've been a big fan of Reverend Raven for many years.  Give his band one listen and you'll become a convert as well.  Strong vocals and incredible guitar playing, along with swaggering sax or hot harp, and a rhythm section that locks it all together into mighty grooves, this is how today's Chicago-style blues should sound!"

-Don 'T-bone' Erikson, Founding Editor, Blues Wax Magazine

“Andy Linderman is one of my very favorite harp players. His tone and phrasing are tops in my book.”

-Gary Primich, premier harp player

"Best in the midwest!"

-Johnny Rawls

“Andy Linderman is a great player, a great heart, a great musicality and energy, and a great friend.” 

-Corky Siegel, musician/producer 

“Andy blows harmonica on the virtuoso level, with great tone and an apparently endless stock of ideas, and beats the odds by doing it gracefully.” 

-Tom Hyslop, Blues Review

"Standing ovation at Buddy Guy's Legends!"

-Joanna Gray

"One of the best acts I've ever seen at the Bayfront Blues Festival."

-Blue Monday Magazine

"Milwaukee's Best Blues Band!"

-Shepherd Express

"Highly recommended!"

-Tom Hyslop, Blues Revue Magazine

-Steve Jones, Crossroads Blues Society

"It was great having you guys at Bluesmore this year!  What a fine show."

-Evan Vulich, Linn County Blues Society

"You put on a great show!"

-Randy Hoffman, Alpena Blues Society

"The 2013 City of Sturgeon Bay Harmony by the Bay Concert Series . . .  Without question, the success was directly attributable to the musicians who performed . . .  without a doubt, this year's best show was put on by Reverend Rave & the Chain Smokin' Altar Boys.  In fact, it was the best blues performance we have ever had.  These guys know how to play the blues!  Their music selection and unique delivery was truly enjoyable  I do hope that their schedule will allow them to visit Sturgeon Bay for our 2014 series."

-Thad Birmingham, Mayor, Surgeon BAU
