Don't Stop Please

The onstage presence of Don’t Stop Please is truly something to behold. With six members, all of them multi-instrumentalists, their performance area can get a little crowded. Their shows often resemble a circus act as they juggle instruments and change positions, often in the same song. But this is no novelty act. No musical terrain is off limits for Don’t Stop Please, whose music fits nicely into jazz, rock, funk, folk and/or bluegrass. Add that to the stellar songwriting and Anna Horton’s gorgeous Fiona Apple-esque vocals in tandem with frontman Joel Ludford’s own singing voice, and you’ve got it all. -Wyndham Wyeth, Paste Magazine Don’t Stop Please is one of the most talked-about groups to come out of Conway in a long, long time — maybe ever. -Do501.com As far as I can tell, the music of Don't Stop Please pleases everyone who hears them.
