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.

"They have a completely new, completely different take on the music. Simply amazing!" – Mike Harding, BBC Radio 2 

"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
