Reviews

§         “In addition to the expressive saxophone of the leader, the band is very solid…there is a lot of potential in this group and it’s leader, which is obvious…”

-Frederic Adrian, Soul Bag Magazine (July/Aug 06)

§         “Miss Shanna Jackson is a singer in the style of Koko Taylor and Shemekia Copeland, with a powerful, soulful voice, with which she brings freedom and strong feeling to the very different styles of music…guitarist Emre Alp, which you can see by his name already, is no American, but is a Turk, plays for the blues "with more" feeling than much of its colleagues from, for example, Texas or Chicago who I have already worked with and heard.”

-Ron, rootstime (April 2007)

§         “I’ve had the pleasure of seeing the Charles Walker Band six times live. This band is one of the most talented and progressive blues bands in the country. One listen and you’ll realize this band has obvious blues credentials.  They’re one of the most dominating live blues bands that I’ve ever seen. Book this band for any event; they’ll bring the show and the music that will make
for a great event.”
