With exquisite vocal harmonies and intelligent, socially-conscious lyrics, the folk quartet Acoustic Blender weaves classical, jazz, gospel and contemporary styles into a wonderful, crazy quilt.

You guys sounded great! Nice to hear Acoustic Blender with their unique blend of songs - and voices.

Old roots classicality invades their work and transforms it from folk to something more unique... [There is] a strong affinity for tradition underneath the jazzy / folky / intelligent World sensibilities. A potpourri of styles... [with] well integrated harmony vocals... A very welcome addition to your collection.

I am blown away by Crazy Whirled. I played it for my group, and they love it, too.
Acoustic Blender is a group of four uniquely talented musicians who sing intelligent, witty, and uplifting songs. They blend their classical, contemporary, and traditional folk influences together as seamlessly as they blend their powerful four-part harmonies.
Otto Bost - host of “Acoustic Eclectic” on WDIY-FM

Joanne Hammil - composer and choir director
All four members of the band play multiple instruments and are highly trained musicians. ... Their song list fascinates – they sing about politics, peace, quality of life, endangered species and whatever else is on their mind.
Andrea Owens - GAnet

I can't tell you how impressed we were with your concert... You guys REALLY sounded like you'd been together for years! You guys sounded like a team. You really have to make a CD together. It was a VERY entertaining show, and your tuning and ensemble was really together. I was SOOOO glad I came. DO MORE.
Ruth Maletz - Community Music School
Total fun -- thanks. Should be an audience of thousands!
Steve Gable
Totally enjoyed the concert. Great harmony, loved the rounds, piano, and voices. I really think the four of you have great chemistry/sound. The fact that all of you were enjoying the performance came through. I loved the way you arranged your songs this time. So... when are you going to make your first CD together? I'll be in line to purchase one.
