So, are you guys ever gonna play again?

February 8, 2008

Ruth got me the new CD for Christmas and I can't stop playing it. I totally LOVE It. I guess that should be no surprise. You guys are still my favourite band. Sorry to see that you are taking a break from performances. Hope you will be back up by my birthday. Spending my birthday in GR with you guys (and that beautiful waiter) was my best birthday in a long time.

Well, you guys have a great year and can't wait to see you again.

December 31, 2007

Happy New Year Y'all!

Hey There Potato Moon!

I just discovered you all thanks to someone who's moved down from Michigan!

I am in love with your music and will start spreading it around South Florida!

Keep up the good work!

I'm hooked. What well formed yet flowing music. That's a hard combo to come by these days. My mother-ilaw, Lynne, turned me on to your music. She had been to your shows before and always had a wonderful time. She passed on last year and I wish I had the chance to go with her. I will try to make the Grand Rapids show and take solice in the fact she could be there in spirit, if you don't mind angels in attendance.

If Grand Rapids was void of musicians such as yourselves, I would have left to chase after Folk in the Carolina's. Inspiration through the long winters is limited, therefore it would be therapeutic to invest in a collection of your CD's. You truely are story tellers weaving through a frazzled and rushed society that has forgotten the value and character of the slow pace and reflection your music allows. Thank you.

Great show in Rockford. Thanks for tearing it up.

Saw you in Traverse City last night, and you were incredible. I got to talk to a couple of you, and found you to be very nice, which is odd since most of the people I've met up here have been rude. If you ever get the chance to play in N.C., contact "Coyote Joe's". They are always searching for great talent, and I know they would love to have you perform. I'll be going back to Charlotte 9/1, and I'll mention you to them. I intend to see you in Boyne Falls on the 18th, but only if you'll sing "Dixie" again.

Thanks for the great show

Caught your show last night at the Muskegon Summer Celebration. Can't even express how much I enjoyed the show. I was torn between watching you or B.B King. Not only are you great musicians but great entertainers. I look forward to seeing you again.

I had the pleasure of listening to your awesome songs this past week end at Michelle & Bruce's wedding.
You guys are just fantastic!
Can't wait to see you again.

Rockford by The Damn - First time I have seen or heard you guys"/girls" - Wonderful sound and "FEELING" - Spent many years in the music business as an electronics engineer and I know "sound" - you got it.
The best of success to you and I will surely keep track of your appearances.

Saw you at Dunegrass last weekend. What a great time. Danced my butt off.

Brooke Williams

August 10, 2006

Saw you at Traverse City. Loved the music, and wanted to throw some tips your way. The other street bands had a case to collect money, you guys could pay for your gas or drinks with tip money. Perfectly acceptable to collect for a street performance when there is no cover or tickets. The party I was with would have thrown you some good bucks!!! LOVED IT!

neil

August 9, 2006

Your sets last night at the Bank Street market was awesome. My wife and I have been huge fans since we saw you perform at Coopers Glen. Your CDs (all of them) have been played countless times. I absolutely love The Life of the Lonely Jones. We'll work on getting you folks at Bell's soon. Thanks so much for sharing your music!! I wish you all good things.

Albert

August 8, 2006

I was in Traveres city with my wife and seen you guys perform.thought you guys are awesome.bought a couple of cds and had my friend in detroit listen to it.i'll keep looking for the updates on your schedule so i could take my friends to see you guys again.siters should record more classic songs thier voices are awesome. Thanks

Evion

July 22, 2006

I love your sound! Have you ever heard of TOAST and TOMATO?? They're a new sound and you remind me of them. Potato Moon with TOAST and TOMATO would be the concert of the century!!!!!

My wife and I had the unique opportunity to watch your family perform at the St. Cecelia Music Society Art Jam, and have not stopped talking about it. Your music was captivating, and your stage presence was irreplaceable. We plan on bringing our friends to your next show, keep up the excellent show.

Best Regards,

Cassie Oonk

December 19, 2005

I remember the first time I heard you guys , I was in the car with my dad (Jack) and my uncle Mike. I thought wow who are these guys they're really good ! I was really impressed and when we went to see you guys at the cabbage shed i was amazed. I remember my dad bought carnival and I said "dad can you burn me a copy of potato moon ?" he told me " If you want a copy I'll buy it but you have to pay me back." I was so happy to get your cd. I think you guys are awsome i got a poster too. Its right next to my bed i have Ben's and Phil's (sr.) autographs i wanted to get Jane's and Laura's too, But we had to go. Keep up the good work you guys I love your music it makes me feel happy.

I saw you guys for the first time at Wheatland this year and completely fell in love with your music.That was the performance I came home and told everyone about!I hope you will play somewhere around the tri-city area so my friends can see what an awesome group you are!

I love your creative sound and appreciate your music. I've had carnival for the past year and I can listen to it at anytime. Being an audio engineer it is also great to play for PA soundcheck. Keep up the good work and keep the music coming

September 22, 2005

First time we saw or heard of you was this year at Wheatland!! Wow, what a great sound. We've attended 26 years in a row at Wheatland and know great music. You are among the best original sounds we've ever heard. We purchased your two CD's you offered for sale at the Festival. Looking forward to seeing you again!! Keep that talent coming!!

Gail Hardy

Live in Battle Creek-would also like to be informed when you will be in Kalamazoo-Thanks

When will you be at the Black Rose in Grand Rapids? Had a tast at Wheatlan.-want more!

Larry Lyon

September 16, 2005

In August I stumbled across you while wandering Traverse City on a Friday night. My wanderings stopped. I wanted to stay right there until you finished, but alas, I was one of only seven and I was urged to go on and eat at Hannah's. (?). You mentioned your website, and six weeks later, I am checking it out. Your sound is great. When we return to Michigan next summer, can we count on hearing you? Either that, or feel free to come to the mountains of North Carolina and play your heart away. Your sound would blend right in....

AMY VOSS

September 14, 2005

I saw you at Wheatland!!! You are so much fun- I bought your Carnival CD and can't stop listening to it! Keep up the tunes!!!!

Leslie B.

September 13, 2005

Thanks for being the the highlight of Wheatland! My only regret is that you won't be West Michigan's little secret anymore! Your talent is on par with the best in the music business. Don't forget your roots when you go big time!

andrew schutt

September 13, 2005

Fantastic show at Celebration on the Grand. Everyone I talked to couldn't stop talking about your show.

Robin Hosler

September 12, 2005

I saw you at Wheatland, you really rocked. I think you had the most energetic performance of the weekend. I've seen that happen before at Wheatland where a band that was scheduled to play only one preformance at the second stage was the best group of the whole weekend. Good job. Your drummer was excelent. My seveneteen year old son is a drummer, I wish he'd been there. Thank's

Eric Boff

September 11, 2005

I went to celebration on the Grand and that was the first i've heard of potato moon.The minute I heard Jane on piano and singing I was dumb founded and mesmorized.What an excellent sound you've developed and i'm proud to say i'm a fan of what you're doing.Good work.

anonymous

August 23, 2005

Saw you guys in Rockford but have not been able to get on the website to comment. Great show as always. Love the "Boy named Sue" number. It's not often that one hears a group do that.
Jane, Jane, Jane.....such style, such grace, such passion in your singing, what a voice, you are the complete picture.

marlene kwapisz

August 20, 2005

Saw you play the last 2 years in Traverse City. YOU GUYS ARE GREAT! hOPE TO SEE YOU SOON IN THE METRO DETROIT AREA SOMETIME.

Rebecca Pitsch

I love this band... i live in chicago and heard them while passing through Traverse City, MI. I wish they would come to Chicago!

Andre Kuschell

August 8, 2005

Hey guys, We'll once again you were fantastic at Friday Night Live in Traverse City. What a night! I'll get you a copy of the DVD once I get it all done, along with some photos. Great job!

jordon "allister" stanton

August 7, 2005

my uncle Chad brought me to see you at Meijer Gardens on 8/2, and although i'd been listening to your "Carnival" album for about a year now, i was totally blown away. You are so fun to watch as you perform; you have great energy and your songs are great.

you were inspiring. way to go!

jamie

August 6, 2005

Saw you at Traverse City's Friday Night Live. You guys are great. Hope you come back soon. We all loved you. Good luck.

Casey

August 5, 2005

I was walking downtown Traverse City and found you folks this evening at Friday Night Live. Your music, and as important, your energy, totally grabbed my soul. I found your music to be uplifting, relaxing, and wonderful.

I will be at your concert in January in Lansing.

Fantastic job. I love it.

Ken Kiel

August 3, 2005

Just saw you at the F.M.Gardens last night (8/2/05). Good show! Looking forward to seeing you at Wheatland next month.

LOVED the Rogue River concert-Jerome and I are looking forward to seeing "y'all" again soon!
Auntie Anne and Uncle Jerome :)

Ryan Enlow

July 26, 2005

Wow. It's hard to describe your style because it's such a blend, but it is really amazing. The vocal harmonies are just awesome. Thanks for the harmonica! Ever use a mandolin or a banjo?

Thanks so much for coming to Rockford, MI.

Randy Arthur

July 22, 2005

Wow. Just listened to some of your stuff on the website and was blown away. I am a huge fan of Wilco, Jayhawks and Blue Rodeo (Canadians-if you havent heard them check it out) and you guys remind me of a mix of many of my favorites. I will see you at Legs Inn next week, really cant wait.

kim thorstein

July 19, 2005

A friend gave us your cd last year and we really enjoyed it. So when we heard that you were going to be at Grand Haven we decided to make the 45min. drive from Sparta to come and see... WOW! ok we are really hooked.. came home told our teenage daughters you got to check this group out, we listened to your new cd and looked at web sight. We will all be to Rockford next week to see you (only 10 min. from home ha ha) Got a feeling you won't be hanging around Michigan very long.. good luck you guys have it going on..

Walker and Gayle Parmelee

July 19, 2005

We just listened to you perform in Grand Haven and it was great. We will make a point of seeing you in the future. What a wonder family experience.

Jonathan

July 17, 2005

I really enjoyed seeing and hearing you last month at Festival. You're such a fun and talented band! Finally got a chance to check out your site here just now, and it's great too. I hope to see you again soon at one of your upcoming shows. Thanks for keeping your upcoming events posted here!

BTW, it would be really cool to have lyrics posted here on the site someplace! Love the pictures though. Keep up the great music and always keep it fun!

Troy Harris

July 13, 2005

I cannot tell you how awsome it was to be entertained by you! (Cabbage Shed in July) I would love it if you would book in Florida as I would travel to your show and bring friends!! (I am the guy that bought the CD and Shirt and said that you will be playing at Disney some day)

Jennifer

July 9, 2005

You guys rock. So glad you are coming to Grand Haven. Haven't seen you perform in sometime, so looking forward to it. See you on the 19th!

Tom Rohrer

June 26, 2005

We really enjoyed your performance at the Elberta Solstice Festival. You guys really rocked the joint! Looking forward to seeing you at the Shed next weekend.

How about a Janis Joplin cover or two by Jane?

Deborah Kay

June 20, 2005

You played at a wedding recently at Vergennes United Methodist in Lowell and I was the pianist there. I really enjoyed your sound together as a duo and you left me wanting to hear more. The minister the next morning was raving about your band at the reception later that night, and how you were the best, most versatile band he's ever heard. I'm going to have arrange a night out and come hear you myself!
Deborah Kay

Eric W. Bright

June 18, 2005

I caught your Festival '05 segment. Absolutely excellent. As a musician and band leader myself, we are the most critical of those in the industry, but in the case of you all, you schooled me on talent and personality. I look forward to seeing more of your shows.

Heather Hock

June 10, 2005

I think you are so great! I will see you the 17th in GR!!! I saw you at festival and went out and bought your cd's right away!
