"Think Hank Williams meets the Avett Brothers." - Soot Magazine "Seemingly a cross between acts like the Drive-By Truckers and Zac Brown Band, but still wholly original, Ben Hope and the Uptown Outfit rock the audience with their twang-coated spirit." - David Clarke, Broadway World "They are broadening and redefining the genre in positive ways... This boisterous band made me miss the music of Texas and actually want to listen to country music again." - David Clarke, Broadway World "Ben Hope and the Uptown Outfit were a solidly good time, energetic performers with a rollicking country sound." - Natalie Sacks, Charged.fm "The kind of southern essence and rhythm that you can't help but move along to." - Music Creates Us
