“In an age where everything is compressed – data, time, music, love – the Big Steam Band
offers a rare expansive experience. The songs, from Whitney Smith’s ever-searching imagination, are such an undiscovered country. The singers can’t quite believe where they’re taking them.” ~ Brian D. Johnson, MacLean’s Magazine
