Testimonials

Even if you haven't been particularly impressed by BAS in the past, "The Caged Bird" is one of their most focused and tightly woven CDs, filled with smart and fun lyrics and dabbling in surprising territory, such as the yodel-fueled, rockabilly tune "No Matter What I Do."
- Stacey Nick, Fort Collins Coloradoan

"While the fans who are set on BAS’s original sound might be disappointed with the significant instrumental or stylistic changes, one must admit that BAS stays true to themselves in the sense that they continue to play exclusively acoustic music that gets people moving and shaking just as effectively as a club DJ playing the latest dance grooves!"
- Paul Lemmon, Colorodo Music Buzz

"These guys are adventurous, entertaining, very original. I thoroughly enjoyed them."
-Tommy Emmanuel

"NOW is just where Boulder Acoustic Society should be and are. This third album sees BAS bidding a fond farewell to Scott Higgins and welcoming Scott McCormick. You’d never know it from the raucous party that ensues in 7 out of the 8 tracks! This is no ‘grab your hanky Ma’ CD. NOW features the same great blend of stunning musicianship and fun that any live show does. Sure, there is a tender moment that will transport you to the Big Island for a dance with your true love but don’t let that catch you napping. You’ll be left behind when the BAS Express leaves the station. Jump on board NOW!
-Mary Palmer, Music Director of High Plains Public Radio

"Here, for us, is the future of String Band Music on a silver platter.(assuming you buy the CD!) A multi-national, multicultural, symphonic, swingin' band of young monsters who will bring you to the rocky mountain where they live and show you around the place... And you will like this place."
- Darol Anger, violinist, fiddler, composer, Republic of Strings, Psychograss and many others.

"Very cool!"
- Mark O'Connor, violinist, Appalachia Waltz Trio and many others.

"Once you go BAS, you can't go back!"
- Courtney Bullock, super-duper fan

"BAS? Killer. Wonderful. Everything from obscure Jim Kweskin jug band songs to astounding classical pieces, jaw-dropping gypsy jazz and cleverly reworked covers. Way cool."
- Marty Jones, guitarist of Marty Jones & the Pork Boilin' Poor Boys

"Aaron, Brad, Scott and Kailin had the crowd on their feet with their infectious enthusiasm and great musical chops. These guys are doing what they love to do and it shows. Fantastic!"
- James Hill, Canada's Ukulele Virtuoso

"Everyone thought the Boulder Acoustic Society was the highlight of the ceilidh! Boulder Acoustic Society produces a unique sound that sets them apart from and far above other groups! Your sound is addictive; it's seductive; audiences just can't get enough!"
- Sandra Obritsch, Vice Chairperson and Program Director; Ukulele Ceilidh in Nova Scotia Society

"BAS: WOW!"
