“Marty Cohen calls what his band does ‘urban folk’…” (but) “If you listen closely to their renditions of Cohen’s songs, you’ll hear the underpinnings of Americana and pop music as well.” –Sacramento News and Review (2018).
The band creates a sound that has been called “an inspired blend of urban folk…with a pop twist” –Sacramento Bee.
