"A perpetual crowd-pleaser, Roosevelt Dime often has commuters soulfully stomping their feet in the subway and passersby lindy-hopping in the park."
Tze Chun - The New York Times (June 7, 2010)
"Brooklyn band Roosevelt Dime feels ripped from some earlier era with a sound that’s part rollicking blues, part Dixieland. Their songs are catchy toe-tappers, real feel good stuff. A splendid time is guaranteed."
Michael Tearson - Sing Out! Magazine (Spring 2011 v.54 #2)
"It’s authentic, frivol, party and relaxing at the same time. It’s rooted in tradition without being old fashioned, this is modern acoustic American roots music at its best."
Folkworld (Issue #43, Nov 2010)
"Roosevelt Dime have all the ingredients to shake up any party."
Maverick Magazine (December 2010 issue) (5 star review)
"Roosevelt Dime is so good at working old styles into theirs, those influences are plain hard to separate...I would have a cup of coffee with any lady who gets what these guys do. There is something about this music which attracts the best people."
Frank Gutch Jr. - Folk and Acoustic Music Exchange (October 14, 2010)
"Pensive banjo and tender trumpet stroll alongside warm gospel harmonies."
Elmore Magazine (March/April 2011, Issue #43)
"There’s a kind of relaxed charm to the music Roosevelt Dime makes. It’s steeped in the music of pre-war America, from New Orleans, Chicago and St. Louis. But it’s also a totally 21st century blend of genres — the kind of no-holds-barred cross-pollination of genres that is accessible to all kinds of people."
Emily Burnham - Bangor Daily News (October 7, 2010)
"With the welcome inclusion of horns, slide guitar, rich harmonies and an ear for a classic Band-alike groove and melody throughout this debut [Crooked Roots], Roosevelt Dime sound like they're from somewhere far more open, lush, green and mountainous than downtown Brooklyn."
Ian Fildes - Americana UK (April 25, 2009)
"The songs are supremely bluesy and countryish, with sweet lyrics and harmonic arrangements keeping things pleasant and engaging throughout. An absolute treat."
Joe Wawrzyniak - Jersey Beat (October 2010)
"If you've seen the talent that lines New York subways from The Bronx to Staten Island, then be prepared, because you aint seen nothing like this Brooklyn act."
Tim David Harvey - AMP's & 808's (January 2011)
"The songs feature bouncy rhythms, banjo, and horns...and plenty of great singalong vocals. Nothing but upbeat feelgood tracks here."
LMNOP - babysue (October 2010)
"This is music that alternates between being smooth as premier bourbon and abrasive as blacktop chippings. You have the mood - they have music to match."
Tim Carroll - FolkWords (Sept. 21, 2010)
"[Steamboat Soul] meanders along the Mississippi taking in all the music from the riverboats, the basement jazz bars, the bourbon-soaked street corners of the French Quarter, ... and all this from a band who turned Radiohead's "High and Dry" into a late night Honky Tonk smooch classic on their debut album."
Allan Wilkinson - Northern Sky (Sept. 18, 2010)
"The band’s non traditional lineup — consisting of banjo, electric or washtub bass, percussion, trumpet/cornet and woodwinds — gives them a pretty unique and engrossing sound."
madmackerel - The Mad Mackerel (Sept. 18, 2010)
"The sparkling, strong and solid group interplay of New York-based Roosevelt Dime’s Steamboat Soul is again proof that great music is alive and immortal."
Johan Schoenmakers (translated by Willem Fadrhonc) - altcountryforum.nl (Aug. 28, 2010)
"[Steamboat Soul] is a great body of work. And it's hard to classify because it's soulful, it's funky, it's New Orleans jazz, it's vaudevillian, it's humorous and it's deep all at the same time."
Chris Darling - Us Folk, WMPG radio in Portland, ME (July 30, 2010)
"The sheer muscle of the band's sound won't leave you looking for cracks. It puts your inner critic to sleep, allowing you to just enjoy the music."
Matthew Parrish - Williamsport Sun-Gazette (May 13, 2010)
"There is something of a slightly less confessional Avett Brothers sound buried in there somewhere, but there's also a lot more diversity, from the funky acoustic beat and fuzzed, old-timey vocals of web-only track "NuNu (Sweet Love)" to the jazzpop rhythms of "Rants & Raves" to the electrictrified banjo jam of "Good Man Do."
Boyhowdy - Cover Lay Down (April 3, 2009)
"When originally formed in 2006, the trio decided to take a chance on making rock inspired banjo music. Green admits it was an odd setup at first, but once they started creating music and playing shows, their sound quickly began to take shape."
Nicholas Briano - The Wave (March 23, 2009)
