"New folk-pop sounds from a crack band with charisma to burn"
Vermont's Burlington Free Press says the Ryan Montbleau Band is "difficult to describe, tough to resist." They make catchy folk-pop with lyrics that break easily into singalongs. But what really sets them apart is instrumental artistry that adds deeper jazz and funk layers to the sound. "With a finger-picking style that has been compared to Leo Kottke and Ani DiFranco, soul-folk songwriting skills in the tradition of Martin Sexton, and a singing voice constantly compared to Stevie Wonder, there is clearly an abundance of talent here," the Green Mountain College Journal says of former coffeehouse folkster Montbleau. And the sound isn't all Northeastern: as you might imagine from the name "Montbleau," there's a zydeco layer in there that will set your feet on fire. Since we saw the band at the 2007 Ark Student Welcome Show they've released a new album, "Patience on Friday."
