Press Reviews “Serpent Wisdom packs its songs with gripping, moving statements, like a distilled Dylan...with a potent message...Yes, you can think and dance at the same time at a Serpent Wisdom show!” Bob Bahr, Music Columnist, Night Club Guide “Serpent Wisdom is anything but typical.” Shallcross, Courier Journal “Serpent Wisdom’s disarming Afro-affectations move beyond mere posture... They elicit genuine emotion, from the band and the audience.” Serendipity, LEO “The point of the band is unchanged—to make music that stands for something, and to make it so good that an audience is transported.” Jeff Puckett, The Courier-Journal
