MAPLEBLUES MAGAZINE REVIEW - about the new CD Humdinger..."There is a lovely, intimate ambience here with the feeling that these are four friends who just set up in your rec room to play some new songs for you... The songs are a well-sequenced selection of modern electric blues. Jerome is in excellent voice and this is one fine band with Kellerman being especially inventive." - John Valenteyn (2007) www.torontobluessociety.com/0709johnspic ks.htm
