"The interpersonal warmth and jabbing banter between them made for an extra layer of tale-spinning on a real and philosophical level. These two inspired artists — both qualifying for the artist-deserving-wider-recognition badge — get along famously onstage, with a naturalness and good-humored, salty symbiosis encountered in such classic musical couplings as Johnny Cash and June Carter and Gillian Welch and David Rawlings." "Schmidt and Elkin captivated the capacity crowd with their energy, wit, spirit, passion and of course their music. They complement each other so well, Elkin with her élan and Schmidt with his more reserved nature. The chemistry between them shines through not only in their singing but also in the repartee between them. This was a magical night and I'm not the only one who hopes that their touring together loses its rarity status." "Schmidt is a remarkable songwriter, poetic, funny, lyrical and moving. And Elkin is an infectious performer." "Danny Schmidt is generally recognized as being one of the best songwriters on the modern Americana scene and it was easy to see why. His songs tended to be full of literate, poetic lines and not a little irony and humour. Carrie Elkin is also a songwriter but in her case she writes on a much more personal and intimate level. It is her stunning voice that makes you sit up and take notice. It is strong and powerful and she sings with loads of passion and emotion."
