“Must-see… [His] songs… wind and roll with steep changes, always ending with a birds-eye view that suddenly organizes it all into one delicate vision. The Rhode Islander-turned-Nashvillian's words flow more like folk poetry than verse-chorus status quo, picking on a honky-tonk spirit with a Tom Waits heart.”
- Marissa Moss, Rolling Stone, September 17, 2014

"Gritty... a bracing breath of fresh air.”
- Miles Raymer, Entertainment Weekly, October 3, 2014, full album stream

"Joe Fletcher is a natural storyteller... It's the lyrics that get you, the complexities of which are sometimes hidden by the musical styling. They paint the sort of deep portraits of American life many songwriters allude to but which few accomplish. There's darkness down there, but with it humor and, absolutely, a damn good time."
- James Joiner, Esquire, August 28, 2014

“Wildly imaginative… charmingly raw”
– Jon Freeman, Country Weekly, October 13, 2014

“A diamond in the rough.”
- Hal Horowitz, American Songwriter, October 7, 2014

“This band’s namesake gave up his day job as an English teacher to make music, and he goes to the head of the class with his latest release.”
- June Wulff, The Boston Globe, September 1, 2014

“Sounds a bit like pre-electric Dylan.”
- Bob Strauss, LA Daily News, September 22, 2014

“Awesome… [his] best yet.”
- Jed Gottlieb, Boston Herald, September 22, 2014

“Such a special record… Fletcher’s storytelling skills have never been better, and the characters in his songs are thoroughly developed and oh so dark.”
- Maeri Ferguson, Glide Magazine, September 25, 2014

DENVER (THE BAND) EARNS RAVES FROM PRESS AND MUSICIANS, SELLS OUT RELEASE SHOW

‘Rowdy Love,’ the killer second album from the Americana band Denver, is earning them raves from the press and fellow musicians alike. Denver sold out its hometown (Portland, OR) album release show, which also featured legendary songwriter Michael Hurley on the bill. Next up is an appearance this weekend at Timber! Music Fest, which also features J. Mascis, Charles Bradley, Damien Jurado and Horse Feathers. Additionally, the band will be headlining The Tractor Tavern in Seattle on Sunday night.

“When we BBQ in our driveway, we prefer to do it listening to Denver, the band.” – Shovels & Rope

“Rambunctious… ‘Rowdy Love’ lands somewhere in between icons like Townes Van Zandt and Hank Williams, and modern favorites like Wilco and Blitzen Trapper (whose frontman Eric Earley produced the LP).”
-Laura Leebove, Wondering Sound, July 10, 2014, full album stream

"Rowdy Love is, true to its title, bummed out, hopeful, joyful and conciliatory... For fans of The Rolling Stones, Hank Williams, Guy Clark."
- John Freeman, Country Weekly, June 26, 2014

“Ramshackle but right.”
-Ned Lannamann, Portland Mercury, July 14, 2014

“Dubbing Denver ‘heavy’ would be an understatement. But good country shouldn’t tread lightly. After all, it’s an American institution wallowing in booze and breakups. Drink it in, but expect a hangover.”
-Mark Stock, Willamette Weekly, July 16, 2014

“Glowing… [Music] you’ll want to listen to while drinking a beer in your backyard, thinking deep deep thoughts.”
-Kyle Mitchell, Music Savage, June 25, 2014
