"Tumbleweed Company Artist Profile"

Pleasantly blending folk, true rock and roll, blues, and roots country styles, this band should appeal to a wide variety of fans, including lovers of the jam. There is some crunchy funk going on to treat your brain, too. Think Honky Chateau and you’re close. Each instrument, of which there are several, is solidly played and interwoven seemingly egolessly into songs along side vocals taken with the same approach. Nothing, even the guitar solos, are screaming at your ear, and they don’t need to scream to catch your attention. The melodies tempt and tease and round out into a smile on your face in no time. Particularly, this band is made up of Ryan Toll (Vocals, Guitar), Jeff Adamczyk (Vocals, Mandolin, Piano, Organ), Derek Toa (Guitar), Will Cafaro (Bass), Jayme Tardiff (Drums), and Dana Osterling (Vocals, Cello). The vocal harmonies achieved in Tumbleweed Company’s songs are nothing short of impressive. Though different in style, I am reminded of fellow festival artist, My Pet Dragon. Allow me to reassure you that you will get your dance on to this band. Your feet will start taping right around that point that the smile takes you over and I encourage you, as Jeff said above, to give right in.

"Tumbleweed Company Pickin' Up Speed"

"Stirring slowly inside the cauldron that is Boston’s local music scene is a tinge of the upcoming neo-revivalist revolution. Even in the musical realm, the days and ways of old have long clashed with progressive modernism. Old school rockists refute the authenticity of contemporary music, while the new school argues that the creation of modern styles is an evolutionary process. Between these two poles, the need for compromise arises – luckily, Tumbleweed Company has agreed to meet halfway. And they’ve said it themselves: “A new sound is nothing without an old soul.” Yep – rock ‘n’ roll just got a face lift."

"I dare anyone to attempt such a masterful mix of folk, blues, bluegrass, and Motown."
