"Incorporating '60s psychedelia, free-form jazz, bar-room boogie and the tradition of folk storytelling, Stackabones combine a healthy slate of well-crafted originals with obscure and popular covers."
Sierra Sun, Truckee, CA
"While the band does cover some Grateful Dead songs, and, like the Dead, some Bob Dylan tunes, Stackabones also offers a liberal portion of original songs contributed by Doblick, Brighton, Butch Zito, and Scott Cooper."
Coast Weekly, Monterey, CA
"The Bones are from the String Cheese/Phish/Porch Chops/ school of country-influenced psychedelic bands that are picking up where the Dead left off. If you're a fan of bluegrass and/or the Haight Street sound, this band will blast the cobwebs right out of your skull."
Good Times, Santa Cruz
"The band's wide-ranging, rootsy, downtown Austin sound comes off round these parts like they grew up among the mountains and the surf."

"Country influenced jam band."
Monterey County Herald, Monterey
"If you show up . expecting Stackabones to be playing a country-flavored set, you'd be happy. And if you're looking for this Santa Cruz band to be playing a bluegrass concert, you'll be smiling too. Stackabones consists of three (yep, three) guitars, bass and drums, all driving the beat with each song. One minute you may hear "If I Only Had a Brain" and the next could inspire a Woody Guthrie tune. . Enjoy the party they offer."
Coast Weekly, Monterey
"Some of the finest psychedelic jamming on the Central Coast. The definitive jam band."

Austin Chronicle, Austin, TX
"… around Santa Cruz, the band's fans are well-aware of the group's eclectic blend of rock, reggae, blues and jazz. Stackabones has been a fixture there for years and even has an East Coast following. … One of the most in-demand bands-in-residence on the Central Coast since the mid '80s."
Coast Weekly, Monterey

"A ripping repertoire of deadly rock 'n' roll"
Good Times, Santa Cruz, CA
"Stackabones … gets its roots from country rock. But country rock is just one element of the various musics that Stackabones blends together. The band prides itself on being steeped in the blues, jazz, folk, bluegrass and psychedelic traditions, but … they are not just continuing along in a tradition; they are building on tradition to create a sound that is their own."
Relix Magazine, New York
"The members come from diverse musical backgrounds and they fuse together these genres to form a unique sound, which when coupled with their brilliant improvisation, is constantly evolving."
Relix Magazine, New York
"Stackabones play a highly charged brand of original country rock highlighted at times by jazz, swing and reggae sounds… Do yourself a favor and catch this great group in action. You'll be glad you did."
Relix Magazine, New York
"Musically they are really tight and their material, which is mostly original, has hints of the Dead and the Band about it… Stackabones know how to grab an audience with gusto."
