"If you like the Everybodyfields, the Civil Wars, or some old school Gram and Emmylou, you will dig Count This Penny."
-Muzzle of Bees
"Folks may have a faint idea of what to expect from a band that describes what it does as “Appalachian pop,” but they’ll likely be surprised by how instantly inviting Count This Penny sounds. The band’s warm vocal harmonies are as vast and encompassing as the cultural region from which it draws its name. It’s music steeped in old American traditions, but the concise form the songs adhere to and the pop structures the band employs make the songs modern and streamlined enough to thrive far from the mountains where their inspiration first saw the light of day."
-The Onion's A.V. Club, Madison, WI
"Their voices — one a bit gravelly, the other crystal clear — form gorgeous harmonies and textures when paired."
-Isthmus, Madison, WI
"Warm harmonies, great vocals, and a brilliant banjo."
Common Folk Music, WV
"There’s a warmth to the music...and a ramshackle grit."
-The Daily Times, Maryville, TN
"Their archetypal Appalachian magnetism, insane harmonies and personal charm will pull you in and warm you through on a chilly November night."
-American Players Theatre, Spring Green, WI
"These folks are good."
-No Silence Here, Knoxville, TN
