Here's what they say about the Bobcats....
"When The Pilot Mountain Bobcats take to the stage the show can start. They have the ultimate of timing, tone and old-time style. The band is truly an original and showcases the highest standard of excellence preserving old-time music." Bobby Taylor Contest Coordinator, Appalachian String Band Music Festival-----
"Not only do the Bobcats have that "local Round-Peak" drive to their music that gets dancers out on the dance floor flatfooting and buckdancing, but they know how to transfer that energy to the called contra/square dance scene without missing a beat!" Rodney Sutton Green Grass Clogger and music coordinator----
"The beat of the Pilot Mountain Bobcats is happy and energetic - it makes you want more. Add their excellent musicianship and good taste and you have reasons why they are always favorites of mine" Sherry Boyd Music Choice Programming Consultant WPAQ Radio Station, Mt Airy, NC-----
"A hoppin' band. They bring the main ingredients, fun and good music wherever they go." Paul Brown National Public Radio, Winston Salem, NC----------
