Sounds Like: The Coffee House Gypsies have a sound that is
refreshingly new, yet hauntingly familiar!
(A. J. Roxx, music critic/radio personality)

I'm sure we'll be hearing a lot more from this talented South Florida band!
(Dan Norris, Radio DJ - Melbourne Florida)

We are very picky when it comes to what we'd describe as noteworthy new music, but CHG has got a sound that is difficult to ignore. Their engaging melodies and skillful harmonies fuse a little something from each decade leaving something for every music fan. Nostalgia and novelty collide with CHG...
(Jester Records)

CHG is like Fleetwood Mac meets Jethro Tull, or Dave Matthews meets the Indigo Girls...
(John Rush of JohnRush.com)

Harmony-laden Adult Contemporary with a slight rock edge. Soaring harmonies reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac with fiery, blues-based guitar solos...
(Tom Heyman of Listen.com)

The music of the Coffee House Gypsies from the Southern tip of Florida is as magical as their name implies.
(J. Brogdon of Muse's Muse)
