“I think the word WOW is going to have to be synonymous with the name Brokentop. This band features stellar vocals and instrument work, has an awesome stage presence and will just flat knock your socks off. Sometimes you don’t know what you’re going to get when it comes to hearing a band on a CD and seeing them live onstage, but I am here to tell you that this band is every bit as good onstage as they are when you put their CD in the player.”
Gene Bach, Producer, Clatskanie, Yreka and Susanville Festivals, OR & CA
I have heard most of the members of Brokentop individually or in other contexts, but when they joined forces in my hayloft concert series last summer, I was blown away by their combined artistry and musicality. A clear case of the total being more than the sum of its parts. That can't happen in math, but it can happen in music. The most fun for me, as the owner of the venue, is to see the reaction of the audience, which was all-out enthusiasm for this most entertaining of "bluegrass/Americana" groups. Kris Kokesh -of Misty River fame- carried the vocals with some beautiful backup harmonies by lead guitar Dale Adkins, all in an acoustic (no microphones) setting. At the end of the evening the first thing I did was "book" them for a return visit in 2012 (my first opening). I look forward to seeing and hearing them again.
