"Don't call them traditionalists: The Farewell Drifters borrow from Nickel Creek's playbook with clean, graceful tunes that pair pop songwriting with an awful lot of acoustic strings." 
- Spencer Griffith, Independent Weekly

"If a young Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel had ever gathered with Brian Wilson and the young Beach Boys and formed a Nashville string band, it might just have sounded like The Farewell Drifters."
- Zachary Greenberg, The Nashville Review 

"Stellar musicianship, soaring harmonies, and insightful songwriting as exemplified in their current release, Sweet Summer Breeze."
- The Localist, Washington D.C.

"One of the more pleasant discs I sonically supped all year. In the middle between acts like Chatham County Line and The Avett Brothers. An undefinable talent here too, something akin to what Townes Van Zandt was onto when he penned "Blue Ridge Mountains."" 
- Davis, Creative Loafing 

"The Farewell Drifters are a boundary-pushing group with one foot in bluegrass and the other in the pop and rock music of its youth" 
- K. Oliver, Columbia Free Times

"One of the most striking new bands, a young Nashville based quintet, that plays with the fire of the New Grass Revival, and, in the words of one gushing reviewer, "making folk music hip again."" 
- Dave Higgs, Bluegrass Breakdown, NPR

"The Drifters are fresh and adventurous, while remaining accessible to both new and traditional music fans. " 
- John Lawless, Bluegrass Blog
 
WE SAY "DON'T MISS THIS FREE CONCERT!"
