"Tullamore is to Scottish and Irish traditional songs what The Commitments were to soul covers. Their festive harmonies, fiddle-fueled jiggery and lilting accents make this the Missouri band around which to build any St Patrick's Day plans."
Andrew Miller,
Pitch Weekly
"I could listen to them sing for hours! There's a lot of skill at work in the band and that talent deserves to stand apart."

"Tullamore has a unique blend of instruments and vocals. The fiddle, hammered dulcimer and guitar complement each other, and their enthusiasm transfers to the audience. And the choice of music makes their concert an evening to remember."

"The highlight of this year's Festival was the performance by Tullamore This line-up is fantastic, with strong vocal harmonies backed by tight playing on the fiddle, hammer dulcimer, and guitar. Tullamore has developed into one of the leading Celtic bands in the Midwest. A toast to them all!"
John Bunch,
Riverbend Arts Festival
"Rich arrangements by Mark Clavey and extraordinary musicianship make Tullamore a superior band. Mary Hanover’s vocals are simply a revelation—powerful, low and warm! Since their debut at our festival, Tullamore has been playing gigs all over Oklahoma at festivals, Robert Burns Dinners and other events with no hint of slowing down. This is the band to watch!"

"Tullamore is seasoned, talented and tight. Three make the music of six, and it comes from the soul with a dusting of experience and hard work. Easy on the ear to say the least"!
Michael Fraser,
KC Scottish Highland Games
"The trio weaves rich harmonies and energetic, well-crafted instrumentation around mostly traditional Irish ballads. While it might be said there's a plethora of Irish bands in the States these days, not all keep to the tradition and truth of the music as well as these folks. Well done!"

"Three harmonic voices bursting with energy began the night's performance. And once the instruments chimed in, you knew one thing: these guys are good."
