NYCity Slickers

"The singing is fabulous and impassioned, which is what modern day bluegrass could use more of. The arrangements are stellar and the material is strong." ~Tony Trischka, Grammy Nominated Banjo Legend -- "While their style is rooted in traditional bluegrass, the brand this 'family' band presents on their first album Layin' It Down shows off the unique background reflecting the range of its individual members. Having incorporated blues, rock, and various generations of country & western into their bluegrass-based songwriting, The Slickers offer a unique perspective and much-appreciated update on what is often labeled 'traditional'. " "In addition to a five-piece string band serving as the backbone, The Slickers put on one hell of a live show lead by three distinct female voices. The ladies draw the audience in through a fresh and inviting, down home welcoming presentation. Rarely do audiences stay in their seats. " "In addition to their bevy of original material, The NYCity Slickers offer up killer renditions of "Rocky Top," a reinvention of the blues epic "Marie Laveau," and the Billy Joel classic "Travelin' Prayer" (yea, that Billy Joel). " ~JD Duarte, Brooklyn County www.BrooklynCountry.com -- "This is the first unknown family band to bring me a CD that sounds this professional and trust me I've heard a bunch. Y'all need to be on tour!" ~Geoff Stelling, Stelling Banjos -- "[To The NYCity Slickers,] I simply want to thank you for affording me one of the most delightful and enjoyable evenings that I have spent in a long time. Your incredible musical talent is matched only by your cordiality and kindness. As a long-time fan of bluegrass music, I found yours to be absolutely enchanting. I could have listened to you all night. You all made me so proud to be from Mississippi." ~ William Winter, former Governor of Mississippi Order the Debut CD, "Layin' It Down" on our website: nycityslickers.com
