Influences: HERE IS WHAT FOLKS ARE SAYING ABOUT your friends--SHURMAN!!

"Very Good! Reminds me of old pre-Heartbreakers' stuff we used to play back in Florida."
-- Mike Campbell (long time Tom Petty guitarist)

"This is an awesomely funky record -- warm and soulful"
-- Jon Popper of Blues Traveler

"shurman has been paying their dues on the road for quite some time. Now it's time for the world to get to hear and enjoy them on record. It'll grow on you quick!"
-- Jim Lauderdale

"shurman has done as much to revitalize the world of rock and roll as it has for music in general"
-- LA Weekly

"Skillfully walking the line where the worlds of country and alternative rock intersect"
-- Campus Circle

"I'm telling you, I defy anyone not to love this band."
-- New Times

"Depending on who you ask , LA band shurman is either the next Old 97s, Drive-By Truckers, or Son Volt. Maybe all three given quartet's glossy pop melodies & southern rock twang..."
-- No Depression Magazine

"Working in an established musical milieu requires an artist to walk a fine line between redundancy and self-conscious novelty--shurman accomplishes this feat with style!"
-- Vintage Guitar magazine June 2006

"Jubilee," recorded live in the studio, captures the passion and energy of a shurman show and the band's trademark crunchy heartland rock -n- roll mixed with country twang"
-- Get Out Magazine (AZ entertainment)

"shurman's just the sort of band radio loves, though they haven't made it onto your dial much just yet. Still, for upbeat infectious rock-pop with a strong country undercurrent (there's some lap steel in these tracks that adds just the right touch when"
-- rockzilla.net

"The band can crank when it wants to, and the back-to-back tracks "So Happy" and "I Got You (Part 3)" represent power pop at its finest. (3 1/2 of 4 stars)"
-- Chicago Sun-Times

"The Los Angeles-based roots - rock band Shurman sway back and forth across the Americana median, tethered to the rail by wood and wire. That of the electric guitar, of course. From the blistering rock opener "Drownin'" to its smoldering country successor"
-- Miles of Music

"Shurman, a band that resides in Los Angeles, is tied to Arizona via singer/songwriter Aaron Beavers. The band's style of music is a combination of "the energy of alternative rock with the sensibility of alternative country.""
-- Tucson Weekly

"Shurman are the sweetest surprise of this springtime: it's solid roots rock with catchy pop hooks, their formula is perfect for modern Americana charts."
-- Roots Highway

"a charming blend of pop-rock, country and southern classic rock, reminiscent of the easy themes and melodies of Petty, Dave Matthews, and Jackson Browne."
-- Music Connection Magazine

"This exuberant album-length debut (following a pair of EPs) showcases a young Los Angeles band that has roots in alt-country and an ear toward rock radio."
-- amazon.com

"shurman are a hard-touring US outfit with good connections and are doubtless enjoyable in heartland bars and clubs with a Rolling Rock beer in hand."
-- New Zealand Herald

"As terrific as the album sounds -- it's all held together by lead singer Aaron Beavers' world-weary vocals and an Americana sensibility. (3 1/2 out of 4 stars)"
-- PASTE Magazine

"SHURMAN-killer band of genuine heart & soul CCR type all American soulrock! the boys are GREAT!! the real McCoy!"
-- Ted "the Motor City Madman" Nugent

"Sounds like Petty and his Heartbreakers jamming on an old-school, live-from-the-floor, rave-up romper."
-- popmatters.com

"L.A.-based twang-rockers Shurman have built a fanatical Valley following over the past couple of years with their incendiary, sweat-drenched live shows!"
-- getoutaz.com

"One to Watch"
-- hob.com (House of Blues official website)

"Shurman is proof that sweat, road rubber and asphalt can still go a long way!"
-- the Indy Weekly

"Shurman’s Aaron Beavers excels at writing big country rock songs with brawny guitar-driven choruses. “Here’s to big things from something small,” indeed."
