Like a porch swing on a warm summer night, Annie and The Beekeepers manage to be simultaneously comfortable and thrilling. Annie Lynch’s lilting voice surrounds you and flows over the Americana arrangements like the breeze as her detailed lyrics entice you to lean forward and beg for more. 

“Annie’s voice took me entirely by surprise. It has the sort of deep smooth sound you don’t often hear from such a young performer and it made me nostalgic for the great female singers I grew up with (Joni Mitchell, Natalie Merchant, Sarah Mclachlan, etc.).” – The Big Red Apple

“Annie’s voice lifts up the listener and spirits you away to another place – another time… How far away? That depends on the set length! I compare Lynch’s singing voice favorably to that of Jenny Lewis or perhaps a cross between the talented Lewis and beautiful singer Dawn Landes. Comparisons may be made, but the music and voice must be heard to be truly appreciated.” Ryan’s Smashing Life

“Lynch’s understated vocals and songwriting are reminiscent of Jolie Holland or the Be Good Tanyas…” – Boston Globe

Cincinnati's Hickory Robot Midpoint Music Festival Guide Review:

"Hickory Robot's lyrics, like the band's name, have a whimsical air to them, layered over top of a progressive blend of Bluegrass, Jazz and other Americana forms. Though adventurous and unique, Hickory Robot also has a marketable sound, meaning with a little love and dedication on behalf of fans, they could easily become "The Next Big Thing" out of Cincinnati. And, really, can we ever have too many big things? The band's new album 'Sawyer' is slated for a mid-October release and could well be Hickory Robot's "golden ticket" to the broader acclaim and recognition it deserves."

Dig: Artists who understand the Americana blueprint, but aren't afraid of augmenting it with new, modern ideas. (Deirdre Kaye)
