Press Reviews Natural. Sometimes it happens that way. It surely seems that the members of Halfgrassed were destined to play together. These guys have got their jam on. Let me start with TJ Johnson – on stage this man oozes rhythm and inventiveness, never doing the same tasty lick twice. TJ’s vocals are impressive whether they are sweet high harmonies, or mind-boggling tongue twisters. Tom Proutt is the most relaxed and fluid guitarist in the universe, or at least this solar system. Tom sings and plays as if he always has known how to do it, and how to do it well. And now to Mr. Joey Damiano. When watching and listening to Joey play, there is no doubt you are seeing the happiest man alive! Quite simply, Joey’s deep pocket bass approach is the glue that binds the whole “natural” good time together. So snap in the CD and have a listen for yourself. Better yet, after you hear the CD, go out and catch these guys live! Joe Mead Charlottesville, VA
