Cadillac Sky "offers a mountain of musical riches: close harmony singing, propulsive melodies with innovative tempo changes, hot banjo picking and intriguing original material," the Chicago Sun-Times raves.

Gone Country Magazine says the band's music is, "fun and bouncy, chalked full of outstanding musicianship on the mandolin, banjo, fiddle…they go above and beyond most anything I have heard from the bluegrass community." Bluegrass Unlimited says, "Cadillac Sky" is definitely one of the new breed of bluegrass bands." Their debut album, Blind Man Walking, has taken the bluegrass world by storm. They are steeped in tradition, yet their sound also has a contemporary sound to it that intrigues and interests a whole new generation of fans for the bluegrass sound.
