Press Reviews "Shade of Melancholy is one of the best songs I've heard this year, by artists large or small. It's the track Ben Harper has waited his whole career to make, and by the end of its smoggy-jazz exaltations that everything's gonna be all right, you're guaranteed to believe it regardless of your mood." - Joe McCombs, StarPolish "[The] groove was great and the overall vibe of it was really cool ... a little bit of Neville Brothers or Los Lobos or maybe even Latin Playboys." - Joe Chiccarelli, producer & engineer (Frank Zappa, Oingo Boingo, Tori Amos, Beck, U2, Counting Crows, Etta James, Shawn Colvin, Ricky Martin) "This band follows a groove that is straight from the heart. The soothing sounds of SHAGG will massage your brain, heal your pain, and make you wonder why you haven't heard of them already." - Chris Hathaway, Ampcast.com "SHAGG slides 1970s jazz-folk grooves into its bluesy acoustic soul. Well-played and sung with jaw-clenched seriousness. Picture a dour Bill Withers fronting the Dave Matthews Band." - Nick Dedina, Listen.com
