Milwaukee Journal Sentinel - Piet Levy - May/2016
"Folk band the Listening Party is just a three-piece band, but the eight tracks on its self-titled album are sonically expansive and emotionally rich. Whether it's the whimsical whistle and hopeful piano on "From Brothers to Son" or Weston Mueller's yearning vocals on the soaring "Irrational" (reminiscent of Eddie Vedder's gruff soul), every note and expression is full of feeling." - Milwaukee Journal Sentinel
Urban Milwaukee - Band of the week - August/2016
"Listening Party is a Milwaukee based band with a sound that captivates and resonates with soulful acoustics, balladic melodies and a sound that feels like you're listening to an acoustic track on a great old rock album." - Urban Milwaukee
Maximum Ink Music Magazine - Mark Huberty - July/2016
"Milwaukee’s LISTENING PARTY is down home Americana folk, soothing and smooth vocal harmonies over acoustic guitars with a little electric piano and clean electric guitar layering extra melodies over the top. If you’re into TRAMPLED BY TURTLES or THE LUMINEERS, you’ll find lots to enjoy listening to their songs." - Maximum Ink Magazine
The Milwaukee folk-rock trio Listening Party should sound right at home to fans of The Lumineers, Mumford & Sons, Avett Brothers and other similarly bombastic folk and bluegrass revival bands, though the band puts a hopeful, redemptive spin on the music that’s all their own. The trio will celebrate the release of their latest set of passionate ballads and toe-tapping shanties, Less is More, with this free show at the Twisted Path Distillery, though if you miss it you’ll have plenty more chances to catch them this summer. - Shepherd Express
