Press Reviews 'When Garden of Dreams all too soon left the stage, I knew it was one of the best local gigs I had ever been to. I wish they could have played some more, but there is only a finite amount of time, and there are too many excellent songs.' - Chicago Tribune (Metromix) 'Garden of Dreams put on a quality and tight show. Altogether a wonderful evening of great music by a band with some of the catchiest songs around. The guys are definitely headed for the big time!' - Chicago Local Bands (www.chicagolocalbands.com) 'Brit pop doesn’t get much better than Chicago’s Garden of Dreams…' - Los Angeles Times
