"...beautifully sung, heartfelt songs" -Rich Warren, The Midnight Special, WFMT, Illinois
"Folkapotamus has put an excellent project together" -Jim Fisher, WGSC 91.1, Indiana
I adore the magnificent rendition of Guy Clark’s “Magnolia Wind,” more bluegrass to my ears. Between the mandolin, melody, and impeccable harmony, lyrics, I never stood a chance. It stole my heart away and if the only way to have it was to buy the entire CD, I would.
Still Standing” has some nicely turned, well written lyrics, beautifully orchestrated instrumentals, and is a perfect vehicle for Penni Hart’s voice— a welcome bright note. Justice is well served to Paul Simon’s “April Come She Will.” The music is really good, worthy of a glowing review... - R.J. Ouellette, The Noise, Boston
"Penni's voice is a silky-smooth instrument and the song arrangements take full advantage of this. She takes the lead on every song with Tony filling in on harmony in strategic spots. This one should find some heavy airplay on Folk Alley." - Acoustic Live, December 2017
"Folkapotamus pulls it all together on their new project! There's excellent songwriting by Penni Hart, along with fine musicianship and harmonies. Songs of relationships and life with a cool cover song for good measure.: - Joltin' Joe, Radio Nowhere
