"Full of hillbilly, hobo blues, and banjo frenzy...also resurrected are period instruments, such as the freedom boot and shackles, employed as advocates to the 1930s and 1940s wandering freedom songs. Lively, entertaining, intriguing, at times melancholy, and at other times vibrant, there is an enjoyable ride to be had here on this train." - Russell Welton, Acoustic Magazine
"They have a completely new, completely different take on the music. Simply amazing!" – Mike Harding, BBC Radio 2
Groanbox, the North American trio of Michael Ward-Bergeman, Cory Seznec and Paul Clifford, are a musical hybrid of ideas and ideals. They are at first glance a roots band, soaked in the traditions of American music, with all the guts of rock and roll and all the soul of the wandering troubadour. But somewhere along the way, that troubadour turned off the trusted road and, from the melting pot of New Orleans, began a new journey that would take the Groanbox sound to new and unexplored places.
"A return to eclecticism that hasn't been in style since the heyday of psychedelia..." - Chris Jones, Songlines
"Truly one of those nights." - Jeremy Searle, Maverick
"Utterly enthralling. This is music that goes deep into the roots of popular music. Mixed in here is West African Griot songs, Deep South blues, Nashville harmonies, Eastern European gypsy dances, even a touch of English Morris Dancing...." - Ben Chu, The Independent
"An eclectic offering that first takes on the grumpy, rustic temperament of Tom Wait's Swordfishtrombones, only to veer into shamanic gypsy trance...An amazingly successful meld of folk styles and traditions, with a heavy sprinkling of inventiveness." - Helen Keen, Maverick, May 2009 on latest Groanbox release 'Gran Bwa'.
