Sarah Potenza brought the house down with her bigger-than-life blues, the epitome of the phrase "man, does she have PIPES!" -Static Multimedia

The Tall Boys have a quiet, rootsy sound that's reminiscent of the Cowboy Junkies. Several of the ballads on their newest album, the self-released Shiny & New, all start with a sustaining chord—like the Junkies in their prime. As for Sarah Potenza herself, she's got a bad case of the Janis Joplins—recommended if you like Susan Tedeschi's more pop-oriented material. -Time Out Chicago

TAXI A&R company - CD Review

"Sensational blues infused vocal delivery. Soulful vocals take center stage. I'm a fan, and I'm very picky."



Providence Journal - Sarah and the Tall Boys

Sarah Potenza started out in Providence and headed to Chicago to start Sarah and the Tall Boys, where they hit the good old country-rock, with an emphasis on country and on Potenza’s outsized, pin-you-to-the-wall vocal chops. ~ Richard Massimo
