"Well-crafted, thoughtful, and thought-provoking songs.

The two have been performing their blend of country, gospel, and blues influenced folk together for the past eight years, opening for national acts and receiving praise in folk circles. - Hipfish Magazine, Astoria, OR

"The world is very much in need of this kind of music and dedicated songwriters willing to follow their hearts." - Sharleen Leahy, publisher/editor, Songs for Peace, Brooklyn, NY

"Todd Samusson and Linda Tomassi are one acoustic guitar, two gutsy voices, and ten impassioned songs. They display a deep concern for ecology, peace, and social justice, and their fervor for the worker shows on such songs as 'Wings of Music', 'Labor Day', and 'Folks 'Round Here'. Their sound is so majestic … the primal vocal finale on 'When the Walls Come Down' is more powerful than an entire orchestra." - Dirty Linen Magazine, review of The Jericho Mine, Samusson & Tomassi's debut album

"Whatever it is, it sure sounds good." - Becky Ohlsen, This Week Magazine, Portland, OR
