| "Uptown Hustlers were a real crowd pleaser! Toes were tapping from note one. I have had several great musicians in my place but these guys were some of the best performers as well as players. Can't wait to have them back!" |

"Uptown Hustlers lay down some seriously fabulous, danceable blues music! If you haven't heard this band for yourself, I have to tell you THEY'RE WORTH IT!" |

"Uptown Hustlers carry themselves with a sincere conviction to the genre as well as a commitment to each other and to their audience that the blues they play will be real, not faked, not processed, not imitated. These guys know the blues: they're hustlers, not slackers. Bluesmen are sometimes known to have their own vocabulary, and in that vernacular I would have to say, 'these hep kats can lay a daddy'o groove so wide you could fit the city of salt between the ridges.' They got the blues, they know the blues, they feel the blues, they play the blues. And, as the great Willie Dixon said, 'If you don't love the blues you got a hole in your soul.'" |
| -- Brad Wheeler, Professional Bluesman/Manager; Beatniks, Ogden, UT |
"Uptown Hustlers are a high-energy, kick-ass, rocking blues band! Uptown Hustlers consistently present a top-notch performance--truly one of the very best blues bands in the Mountain West!

"When I want to go downtown to get down, it's the Uptown Hustlers for me. With the Uptown Hustlers the hustle is always on." |

"Uptown Hustlers were selected to host the Dead Goat blues jam mainly for their interest in playing the blues. They mix tradition with their own feel to the music and it translates into a great energy. What better way of paying tribute to the 'legends' that gave us such an incredible form of music." |
| -- Dead Goat Saloon, Salt Lake City, UT |
"I'll have the peach cobbler. No, I don't know who the Uptown Hustlers are." |
| -- Timmy; Duchesne, UT |
"Very good, swinging blues played well by a group of excellent musicians!" |

"It's easy to say that Uptown Hustlers are a great band, and that they perform a fantastic mix of blues music. But, I think the thing that separates them from the rest is their ability, and willingness, to interact with the crowd. Everybody has a great time when they perform." |
| -- Clare LeBras, Manager; Owl Bar, Sundance, UT |
