“Ambitious, hypnotic, brooding, infused with sadness and joy, capturing the panorama of its physical and emotional canvas ... irresistible.”
"American Wilderness Odyssey performed at Salford Arts Theatre in September and what a joy it was! The warmth and easy-going storytelling, coupled with the fabulous guitars and piano, really carried me along in the journey. It was like travelling with old friends. Our audience loved spending time ‘on the road’ with The Long Road."
“Make no mistake about it! Steve Bonham and The Long Road are a British band, but their interpretation of American styles is tantamount to anything their transatlantic brethren have released in recent years.”
