Hawk,
Thank you so much for the great performance Sunday. Everyone was very impressed and the sound was excellent. My daughter and her new husband were extremely happy and pleased with the music. Please thank your band for us as they are very deserving of our praise. Thank you again and I will keep you in mind for future events! Take care. - Linda

Hello Gentlemen,
I was listening to WAMU 88.5 this morning (as I usually do) and heard you guys playing. Thank you for a truly enjoyable listening experience. You should try to get booked into the Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival, as I'm sure folks would love to hear a local talent play there with the other fine bands.
I am definitely going to try to make the April show at Cactus Flats, and will also be ordering your CD.
Best Regards.

Thanks so much for playing at our Annual Coakley Family Hoe-Down! This is the first year that we took the leap and went with live music and it made all the difference in the world. I have heard your band play many times now and the professionalism and versatility that you show makes the Satyr Hill Band perfect for a group with varying tastes. All three hundred people there, including the 1 year olds and the 90 year olds were tappin’ their feet and grinnin’!

My husband and I are fans, and have come to see the band perform on a number of occasions. I'm wondering if you have recordings of your songs Plant Your Fields, Rider and Moonlight at Midnight that I might purchase. I actually have recordings of these songs by the New Grass Revival, Seldom Scene, and on Old and In the Way, but I really like how Satyr Hill performs them best.

Until later, all my best to the band! And thanks for your music! (we love your performances, and your CD "In the Grove").

Keith H. ... well you really shining amongst the best Banjo pickers in this Region and you're in a better band now! ! ! Satyr Hill has such sound energy!

I really believe Satyr Hill is DC's evolution of New Grass. I just wish they played near to home more often as I don't get to hear enough! of Satyr Hill except on the CD player.

Dear Satyr Hill Band: Some years ago, my wife hauled me to the performance of some now forgotten blue grass outfit at the State Theater in Falls Church, Virginia. You were the warm up band. We’d barely got seated when you all struck up with Shady Grove. I thought I’d died and gone to heaven. I’ve been playing the guitar since my mother put one in my hands almost sixty years ago. I’ve been plucking on the banjo for most of those years, mastering a few licks and harmonic combinations. I have a fairly rich repertoire of mostly traditional, folk stuff for friends and family, one of the favorites being Shady Grove. All this just to establish the credibility of my ear, voice, hands, and, hence, testimony: You guys are the best. You have a really spectacular combination of lyricism, imagination, and performing virtuosity. A few weeks ago, my wife and I spent a day at the Homecoming mountain music festival at the Museum of Appalachia just north of Knoxville. Ralph Stanley and his bunch were there, along with many very precocious performing groups and individuals. I wondered why the Satyr Hill Band was not there. Maybe your grass is a bit too new, and not enough blue or old fashioned. But you do the old stuff with the best of them. Anyway, with all these sounds reverberating in my mind, I thought I’d pass on my sentiments. Best regards. Fritz W. Ermarth

Hawk,
I really enjoyed the new CD [Dead On The Scene Revival] - you're right - it doesn't sound live at all - great sound mix on it! You did a great job in the engineering!

From the traditional classic “Shady Grove” to their own compositions, The Satyr Hill Band plays them all with true professionalism. And in the true traditional form that I love so much. Each member of the band shines through in at least one song on their aptly titled “In The Grove” fifteen-track album. You will definitely get your money’s worth when you buy this album…and I certainly suggest you do just that.

Thanks for a great performance and for providing great sound reinforcement for our barbershop chorus this past Sunday. You guys sounded terrific at both the Show and the Afterglow (party).

I have never before really enjoyed listening to bluegrass for more than one or two songs - seemed to be too much sameness for me. BUT....somehow your band caught my ear and allowed me to really hear some of the more subtle aspects of the art form. Anyway - I can't say enough about how much I and my wife, son and his wife, and our friends Andy & Enid (Andy was the emcee) all remarked how good your band sounds, both vocally and instrumentally. Keep up the good work! - Chord-ially

Thanks Hawk, Rick, Tom, Chaz, and Keith for putting on a dynamite performance of your "Tribute Concert" last Saturday night. We are all waiting with baited breath, as they say, for The Satyr Hill Band to get that material on a CD and in general release.

Folks, if you haven't checked out their "Tribute Concert" (Old & In The Way, the "classic" Seldom Scene, The Greatfull Dead, and The New Grass
Revival) --- DO IT, you'll truly be sorry if you don't. Check their web site!!

Carol Cochran
Your band was excellent all around, and everyone told me they really liked the music. I think it gave the party more energy than any other wedding band I've heard. If we had another daughter, we'd definitely hire you again. As it is, we'll just have to wait to hear your concerts. I'll tell the Cosmos Club that blue grass definitely works!

Hey Rick: Got the cd [Dead on the Scene Revival] the other day...been listening to you guys and you know what: I think you sound really good! I don't say that much about bands. I guess I especially liked the Old & In The Way stuff on there but they are great covers...good job.

Hi Guys,
Just wanted to say that I thoroughly enjoyed your playing at the Johnny Appleseed Festival at Weber's Farm this past weekend. Also, the 2 CD's that I bought from you are terrific! I first heard you at the Johnny Appleseed Festival a few years back and that was what first got me interested in bluegrass. I look forward to hearing you there every year. Keep up the great work!

Dawn Dubois Patti
Dear Satyr Hill Band:
Thanks so much for the great show on Friday night. I was so glad to finally hear you guys in person. I had bought one of your CDs through your web site a few years ago and I loved it! When I saw your newer CD, I bought that too. My husband, who is a dead head and lover of blue grass, was very impressed with both albums. He also had a great time on Friday night.I hope that you guys are having as much fun as we are listening to you.

I hope to see you again soon! 
Dawn.
