Press Reviews Freaking not only funk, but things like rock, pop, folk and jazz, the band always kicks butt live. - The Gazette, Montreal; Parkside Jones could play a jazz festival in the afternoon and earn a standing ovation, then pack up their gear, drive across town and wow the indie rock crowd at the local university. Malleable jazz rhythms in the spirit of Steely Dan with Dave Matthews onstage for a jam. Female vocals are sufficiently hot to melt the wax in your ears and warm the cockles of your heart. - Listen.com; ..a packed Cabaret Hall….watching a few hundred college kids lose their minds and any sense of eye-hand/foot coordination as they flail deliriously to the salvational sounds of Parkside Jones…When they hit the stage the amount of talent and personality per square inch is mindblowing. - Hour Magazine, Montreal; The sultry vocals of Ryhna Thompson shine of Wait Up and Mood….the band cooks throughout. Vive le funk libre. - Xpress Magazine, Ottawa; ..an outfit that could fit in anywhere…because it’s folky enough…it’s world beat funky enough, and it has jazzy trumpet and keyboard interludes. - London Free Press;
