"Bawn in the Mash bridge the rarely traversed gap between bluegrass and rock and roll with the effortlessness of careful students of both."

 -D. Patrick Rodgers, Nashville Scene

"Western Kentucky has offered up the acoustic world the latest entry in genre-bending, progressive bluegrass bands...The boys of Bawn in the Mash are stretching the boundaries of string music to new levels."

-Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion

"...After that came the NUCLEAR new sound from the coolest riverboat rock folk band we've ever encountered (well, really the ONLY band like this that we've ever encountered!) BAWN IN THE MASH. These guys blew everyone's minds with a huge sound of irresistible instrumentation...makes you wanna tear your hair out with excitement."

Larry Keel & Natural Bridge

"I have to go tuck my shirt in!"

Gary Allen (Charlie Daniels Band, JJ Cale)

"They are an ensemble of five seriously talented, home-grown musicians who blend a multitude of innovative styles and instruments to produce one unique sound."

-Bazooka Magazine

"Too funk for country, too bluegrass for rock n roll."

Huntington Herald Dispatch

"Bawn in the Mash is a progressive five piece which spices things up with unusual instrumentation."

Memphis Commercial Appeal

"Feels like electric improvisation with nods to old school bluegrass but large steps toward something new."

The Paducah Sun

"The band's musical style melds various musical genres from bluegrass, rock-and-roll, and country blues. 'Welcome to the Atomic City' is both entertaining and informative, and hopefully the start of a long and illustrious musical career for Bawn in the Mash."

Bluegrass Unlimited Magazine

"Loud ass head-bangin' shit, I don't know what you call it."

JT Gray, The Station Inn

"Much like the oak casked bourbon whiskey distilled in its native Kentucky, Bawn in the Mash proves with its second release, Hurry Up and Wait, that good things get better with age. The album is an adventurous undertaking."

Blue Ridge Outdoors Magazine

"Bawn in the Mash wowed the crowd at 2007's Front Porch concert, and WKMS is pleased that this explosive, inventive band makes a return in 2008."

WKMS, Murray State University

"Bawn in the Mash's youthful and edgy energy will be a perfect opener to the star power of Rowan and Rice."

John McMillen, WKMS Music From the Front Porch

"As their music continues to brew, distill, refine and purify, it will only get better. They have managed to extract an essence of western Kentucky's traditional heritage and condense it all into something of their very own."

Joe Ross, Bluegrass Now Magazine

"Bawn in the Mash is not a regular bluegrass band. They apparently have rock and jazz backgrounds, which reflect professionally both live and in the studio. It would not surprise me to see them play at a rock festival, they are fun to listen and fun to watch onstage."

The Prog Files

"They are fresh and original, with Moroccan, hip hop, blues, and jazz influences, with all kinds of improvisational skills, both instrumentally and vocally. Captivating!."
