"As a drummer, and as a human being, I always have a great time at your shows. I'm a bit of a crusty old man at this point, but I float along in a peaceful, happy place for weeks after catching your vibe. Your sets at Clearwater were way too short, but even in such a 'small' show, you got the message of love and rhythm across. I always love looking around the crowd and seeing people that are catching you for the first time. Watching their faces light up and their bodies start moving is a treat! You all have such a great attitude about music and life and it comes through in every song. Thanks for sharing this with us!!!"
"Had the opportunity to catch Entrain at the Smoky Hill River Festival. Totally blew my doors! I can't imagine that anyone could not like this band. Not a weak player in the crew. The tunage was excellent and the overall entertainment level was tremendous. As much fun to watch as to hear. Well done fellas!!"
"Outrageously great show - the band is tighter, more vibrant, more exciting than ever! When we found out Entrain was coming to the Philly area, we flew in a family member from four states away to stay with our special needs child so we could go to the show. And it was SO definitely worth the plane ticket - that joint was jumpin' - Tom was so on fire, he literally broke through the snare drum. Come back SOON, guys! We'll import more babysitting talent so we can join you!!!!"
"Best yet, had a blast. Please come back next year; always my favorite part of the feast."
"Unbelievable great show! First time seeing them, you cannot stay in your seat without moving to the beat ! Hope to see them back next year ! Bought a CD & listen to it at the office to raise morale. "
"On Friday, March 22 I saw perhaps the best live band I have ever seen.
"Hey,
"Home > the Edge > Music & Discs > Disc Reviews
"WOW!!!!!!!!!"
"You were probably the best live band I have ever heard. No one seemed to mind that it was pouring rain and that we were all drenched and dancing without a care, like it was a bright sunny day. I have been a fan, but now I am absolutely hooked on your music and so impressed with the individual talent and your "entrainment." Love the Live Vol.2 "Right Away People" and I am officially entranced by Entrain. "
"omg your soo good i cant believe i never heard you until yesturdayand i got huggs yay it made me soo happy
"WOW!!!!! Once again an awesome show! Even though the tent was africa hot. Good times, good people, and great music!!!! Entrain really gets the blood flowing!!! Keep it coming!!!!"
"Wow I love the band. As a former booking agent and jazz PR person I can say you've got it. I could not find out the name of the band and stayed up through to the final music, putting down my book - trying to write down (over the roar of the crows) the names of the band members. Spending time in New Orleans/1990 era Jazz & Heritage Festivals the band reminds me of a combination of my lodestar musician friend's band - Dave Falciani's D'Funk Club in Philadelphia, & the Neville Brothers, & with tunes having flavors from Paul Simon's "Graceland" LP. You've got me - I'm watching now. Hot hot hot. Thanks guys."
"What a set of shows!! The current line-up shines in so many ways....although I must admit, I've never heard a line-up I didn't love. There was an incredible energy level at each show....this band actually looks like it is having fun on stage...even the 5:30 pm soundchecks had the place in a tizzy. I'm glad the gigs are over because I need to get some sleep! Thanks guys for taking your music to the highest possible level. Don't miss the opportunity to see this band."
"Caught the show at the Kent Stage last night and it was AWESOME! The crowd was small but you could tell people were enjoying themselves. I took someone who has never heard your music and he is now a big fan. Thanks!!"
"Let me just say that the Grateful Dread thing was sweet! Never heard of you guys before this show but my mind was blown! As you could observe the Kent scene has some waking up to do BUT the people who did make it out were getting down."
"My first time seeing Entrain and was WOWed! The parts where everyone plays percussion is incredibly unique and I loved it! Great show and everyone was entertained. Good music and songs. I've seen lots of live bands these past few years and few can compare to the energy/sound of Entrain."
" Could not have had a better time welcoming in 2003, than rocking with Entrain at the House of Blues in Cambridge. An extraordinary time was had by all in the packed House.
"Great show, with some awesome crowd energy. By the end of the night everyone was up dancing in the light. However with Klem slowly working his way out onto the odd barricade laying between the band and the fans, it would be hard not get up and dance right along with Sam jumpin' and jivin' with his trombone at center stage. My person favorite was the bass/ bongo/ drum jam which interrupted Dancin' in the Light. In the middle of the show I heard someone yelling to his friend, "This is the best band I have ever seen." Can't wait to see you all again real soon, take care. "

"I attended all six performances during the recording of Rise Up Volume 2!!
"The show was fabulous! Tons of energy from everyone in the crowd, and no one was left just standing on their feet. I very much enjoyed opening for you guys...(this is coming from a member of the HOPKINTON STEEL PAN BAND)...Next time you come our way, we'd be more than happy open for you guys again.
"Saw these guys for the first time last night. All I can say is WOW!!!! Such a high energized band. Everyone was up on their feet dancing like crazy!!! I can not wait to see them again!"
"Entrain rocks my world!! This was the 3rd Entrain concert I have been to, and I have such a wonderful time that I wish I could go to one every week! I love the rhythms, drum beats, the energy and seeing the interactions between the band members while they are playing. They have fun and it's infectious! I was right up there in front of the stage. I could have reached up and played the keyboards with alex, and had to move out of the way of Sam's trombone! It was awesome! You guys rock and I hope to go to many, many more shows in this area!! "
"I saw these guys last nite in a wonderful outdoor setting they were great. Excellent drummer and great beat. They reminded me a little of Los Lobos. They had the crowd dancing!!"
"All I can say is that they are truly extremely talented. The energy they pour out to the audience is incredible. I am on my feet the whole night and only stop when they take their break. Alex, Tom, Sam, Len, Klem - it is an inspiration to watch you guys perform. My husband and I, although we don't get out very often, try our best to never miss the opportunity to see you. We will be moving away to Missouri in June and one of the things I thought of was how can we leave Entrain - maybe you could get some gigs out that way. Sue"
"What an awsome time! You guys rocked the Outerlands!!! Cant wait until the May show.
"The band was incredible, I was lucky enough to catch the band for the 2nd time in 2003. The only problem is that Pittsburgh is too far from your home....can't wait to see you again, how far is Martha's Vinyard, MA????"
"The first time I saw Entrain was in Haverhill,Mass a few weeks ago. I could not get enough of them. I bought all the CD's and listen to them all the time. I told some friends of mine about this great band and I took them to Portsmouth NH. lastnight and saw Entrain again. They loved the show so much they too bought a few CD's and want to see them again. The show rocked, and as usual was so full of energy. You cant help but to get a groove on when you experience Entrain Live. Great show guys!!!!!"
"This is the venue that Entrain always seems to sound the best. Part of it may be they seem to having a lot of fun. Friday night at the feast is always a big crowd that is ready to dance and party and with Entrain playing the party is complete.
"Thanks for the great show last night guys, music was great. Took a few friends that never saw Entrain before. They are hooked!!! They had an awsome time.
"I've been listening do these guys for years but never caught them in the NY/NJ area. This time, I left work early, packed the wife 'n kids, drove between downpours, and had a great time at the Americaplatz.
"entrain rocks. The energy is unbelievable. We had a girls weekend, Entrain can entertain us anyday. I can not wait to see them again. We love entrain!!"
"BAM!!!! WHAT a show!!!! Celebrated by ??th birthday with 15 of my family and friends - danced all night - couldn't walk for two days but it was well worth it!!!! thanks for making my birthday so memorable!!!! Party on!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"for the manyth time a smokin set of grooves and a great time had by all in the house. great venue, easy stage front dancin access and lots of steppin out room for big old unce jolly! see ya at the hot club & on the cruise.....to be continued."
"As a long time fan and MV resident from 90-96 I spent many night at AC in 94-95
"You missed it again! We were there because we love these guys (and because it was close). Never, I repeat, Never, miss them again if they play near you.

"I went to see to Roomful of Blues and came away loving the music of Entrain. I came down to Rhode Island from Ottawa, Canada and was aware of this great little music festival by checking it out on the Roomful of Blues website. Little did I know I would encounter the musical tornado called Entrain. In a world filled with cookie cutter bands, Entrain is refresshing breath of air. The percussion was awesome, but the vocals and musicianship and stage presence of this multi-talented group were top-notch too. As a musician who has seen a lot of bands over the years, I was really impressed with the diversity and originality of their well-crafted songs.
"Rockin you guys. The most fun was having so many people who knew the tunes in the audience jammin and dancing too. Mother Street and Dancin weren't the only songs that rocked the crowd (but they sure did too!). People were in to it from the front all the way to the back of the bar. Keep kickin!"
"It is the last day of 2003 and I am sitting at home trying to check off some extra "to do" items before the year comes to a close. I look through my CD collection to see what will motivate me and the obvious choice is "Rise Up," the CD that I picked up at the best live performance I have ever seen at the Jazz Aspen Festival on Labor Day 2002. I say this having seen the likes of Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson at the same festival. Don't get me wrong- those guys are great but for this self-proclaimed groover and shaker, their performances didn't even come close to Entrain's amazing energy and style. As you can tell, the show that I saw nearly a year and a half ago still sticks with me. Let me know when the band wants or plans to return to the Rocky Mountains again- I will be waiting!"
"Groove, smiles and purcussion-driven dancing from even the most unwilling at this all age event. This fun, good-hearted, talented and unique band is waiting for you to find out about it. You'll kick yourself for not discovering it earlier. A bit of advice for your 1st show....Get extra sleep prior to the show--your sleep and thought patterns will be controlled by Entrain for the next 3 (and counting) months. Enjoy!!"
"Entrain sent the blue heron flying high, to another plane where it came together and blew the crowd away for, both shows. please play the Blue heron festival next year!!!"
"Once again, GREAT show! The Owls Nest is an amazing venue too. We hope you come back again soon.
"This is for all who did not make it to the greyhound benefit thursday night. What you missed was a show for the ages!
"Where have you guys been all my life! Your everything I think music should be! You were AMAZING!!!! I am yor new #1 fan!"
"we loved you guys the minute you started playing! i have all of your cds and every time i play them for my friends they can't get enough of it!! We can't wait to see you again this sept!!! AWESOME!!!!!
"This was my second Entrain concert and I was psyched. They did not let me down: they were tight, high energy, even better than the first time I saw them this past summer in Kent, Connecticut.
"Your show was truly inspiring and I really enjoyed it. Thanks to my Brother Bill who had been relentless in getting me to one of Entrain's shows - I caved in and will forever remember the grand time we had there.
"As usual Entrain out did themselves with great entertainment. Thanks guys for a great anniversary. Can't wait to see ya again.
"I haven't seen Entrain in about a year and I've waited all winter to see them again. Their show is spectacular and they get the crowd going. I got some great shots of them jamming on their instruments. Alex has an incredible voice as he is talented in so many ways in music. His smile alone will get people in the spirit of their music and excitement. I advise anyone who has not seen Entrain to go see them as you will fall in love with the originality and passion that these group of men have put into their music. RISE UP!"
"What a great day ! Workshop during the day had the kids learning about all the different drums and clapping along! After the rain cleared, the sky opened up and the band rocked ! Lots of jumping and dancing. A truely inspirational experience for all. Many smiles all around! Thank you Entrain for the education and the Entrainment. You guys are the best! Drums for Peace !
"Entrain Totally rocked the Corning, NY area and the 2300 Festival. Their energy and music had people of all ages from kids to seniors dancing. Your Accustics and Percussions are absolutely astounding and you blew this great area for wine and bands away. We only hope that you will return. Awesome and thanks for making us fans.
"On a beautiful spring afternoon We were graced by the members of Entrain once again. This sleepy little town got rocked and might never be the same. Those of us who have seen them many times couldn't wait, those who haven't were dancing with us. Mo drums,Rise up, River Run,Mother Street and even a few songs I dont know the names of, all were awsome. If you have not seen them don't wait,if you have the chance to see them in a small venue, do it. Klem and Sam, the cooler is always under the table, next to the bus, Margerita's are always at 4,well..maybe 2:30
"Entrain has great music, energy, affect, the works. Just the right mix of drums and everything else.
"One of the most lively shows I have been to in a while. My first time seeing you guys LIVE and it was worth every penny! I will definately be seeing you again. One of the best parts about the concert is the DRUMS! When you guys play the drums together I can't keep still! Thanks for a GREAT night. :)" Post a review of an Entrain show!
