Press

• Hartford Advocate Grand Band Slam Readers' Poll 2006: 7 nominations, winners of Best Duo (Bill Carleton/Lee Sylvestre), Best Drummer (Travis LaMothe) and Best Bassist (Dan Prindle)
  
  
• Northeast Performer Live Performance Review:
  "Bill comes equipped with a troubadour's soul, a backlog of brilliant original tunes, and bandmates Lee Sylvestre (lead guitar/background vocals), Craig Struble (harmonicas), Tony Parlapiano (keys/organ bass) and veteran drummer, Travis LaMothe (formerly of RANE) on drums.
  Carleton played a set of acoustic rock music with emotion, catchy hooks, enchanting lyrics, and captivating melody. Sylvestre and Struble added an improvisational aspect and a great deal of depth to each of the songs. "Circle" served as a showcase of everyone's skills — Carleton's lyrics and vocals, Struble’s harmonica (as both a lead and rhythm instrument), and Sylvestre's tasteful solo arrangements."
  
  
• Taxi A&R Review of As Promised:
  "Bill's songs are well produced and structurally sound, with good music in verses and chorus – the songs communicate emotion to the listener with unique vocals being a selling point. Bill combines pleasant sounding vocals with a well-executed lyrical structure. His musicianship is solid, with the guitar lines providing counter melodies to the vocals. A strong effort for the singer/songwriter genre."
