You know how those UF lab scientists hybridize plant specimens? Well, Between Bluffs are musicians who do the same thing but with roots of the fun, folksy, country kind. -Julie Garisto - Creative Loafing

"Instrumentally lush roots pop, some of it with a darker-tinged gypsy-folk appeal as in "Faults to Fruits" (the title track off Between Bluffs' newly-pressed sophomore LP), other songs leaning to more a newgrassy feel, like "Fire Away (Salt Creek)." Leilani Polk - Creative Loafing

"An engaging mix of pop, folk and a lot of other things that shouldn't work together... like the ska beats that propel opener "Two Lovers." A heavy-handed approach would crush this quickly, but singer-songwriter Jerrod Simpson and his band mates have a light touch that lets the disparate elements ease into place." - Curtis Ross - Tampa Bay Online

"The group's debut CD, Mountain Nearing, is a catchy and earthy blend of alt-country, folk, jazz, pop, modern rock and, on songs like Two Lovers and Row Your Boat, more than a little ska and reggae. But make no mistake, the trio is more Blue Ridge than 2 Tone -- there's an adventurous, soaring country-folk influence across the board." - TBT Soundcheck
