QUOTES
"Saluda Shoals is one of those rare bands that possesses the perfect balance of harmony, lyric and genre. A lot of that has to do with the palpable chemistry between Henri Gates and Cassie Verhaeghe. But, it’s also because of the quality of the story and the music. I often find myself singing one of my all-time favorite songs, Tempt Me. From the first time I heard it, I fell in love. The words carry me from the first moment of meeting that special someone until the age-old fork in the road at the end of the night. We can all relate on that raw human level. Saluda Shoals’ music comes from the heart. From the soul.”
– Leyla Gullen, Fox24 News
(Saluda Shoals) would be right at home on the current country or alternative hit chart and, frankly, outshine many of the current songs there."
- Stan Massey, Transcend Marketing
"That song was beautiful."
- Ed Roland, Collective Soul
