"What They Are Saying About Quimby Mountain Band"

“I have watched this band evolve, mature, and crystallize over the past 3 years. They combine hard energy and spirited musicianship.
Their stage presence is well beyond their years. Their sound is rooted in a blues/rock vain with elements of punk, power-pop, and pure rock.
The songwriting is impressive, unique. They are ready for that quantum leap to the next level.” – Lenny Bloch, CBS-FM Radio, New York.

“Driving guitars fuel the group’s approach to delivering high-energy, butt-kicking rock ‘n roll. ‘Move On’ is a testament to the group’s musicianship and lyrical depth, a powerful, evocative and refreshing mash-up of rock ‘n’ roll
and country…(it’s a) sound that would be right at home being pumped out a Nashville honky-tonk on a sweltering Saturday night.” –
Dustin Schoof, Express-Times.

“Quimby can plug in and rock the crowd or simply play beautiful acoustic melodies. From 16 to 60, everyone that hears QMB has a connection.
That’s what makes them so great!” – Melanie Thiel, WNTI Radio.

“The band plays an eclectic brand of roots-oriented rock and (over the years) the quintet has developed an extremely loyal following in
North Jersey.” – Bill Nutt, The Daily Record.

“The band plays a rousing mix of songs, combining a bluesy flair with a funk-rock edge, adding compelling edgy lyrics.
At live performances their audiences are exceptionally engaging and exciting.” – Jennifer Hubbard, Easton Irregular.

“Quimby Mountain Band is a rising star on the jam band scene. The combination of powerful vocals, killer guitar riffs and rhythm section
will get you up and dancing to the groove from the moment they hit the stage.” – Amy Price, The Rock Doc, WNTI Radio.

“They are Northwest New Jersey favorites.” – The Star-Ledger.

“Quimby Mountain Band is a household word around Northwest Jersey…their music is mature and has a sound that yearns for the days of
big rock and roll bands.” – Todd Petty, The Warren Reporter.

Known for their incredible live performances, Quimby Mountain Band continues to garner attention wherever they play, whether near their home base in New Jersey or throughout the Middle Atlantic States and beyond.

 

The band is coming off a tour that featured Quimby Mountain Band and Midnight North w/Grahame Lesh at Daryl’s House Club, Stone Pony, The 8x10 in Baltimore, Martin’s Downtown Roanoke, and several other stops along the way.

 

Quimby Mountain Band III, the band’s latest, brings all their talents together, coming on the heels of their second CD, “Move On”, which gained national attention as two of the songs on the disc received solid air time on the Sirius XM Jam Station.

 

While the newest CD is getting plenty of accolades, the two lead songs on the CD, “Town of Love” and “Breakin’ The Bank”, have particularly gotten an enormously large amount of acclaim.

 

In concert, the band plays predominately originals with a sound that spans a wide range of genres, with parts rock, funk, bluegrass, blues, folk, reggae, Americana and soul mixed in, or as band members like to say, “We are all over the place.” Some of their music has a jam-like flare to it, but the band isn’t confined to any one style, which makes them unique in their approach and good reason for celebration among their rabid following.

 

Quimby Mountain Band has been a festival favorite, as well, having appeared at Musikfest, the Waterloo Music Festival, Festival in the Borough, Celebration of Life Festival, Bourbon Street Blues Festival, the Great Pocono Raceway Festival, Centenary Blues Bash, WNTI Stage, Skylands Music & Arts Festival, and many others.
