Metroland 2010 "Best Traditional Folk" : "Before Bob Dylan shook things up in the folk world with his celebrated originals, coffeehouse crooners sang previously owned ballads, blues, and labor songs. Led by chanteuse extraordinaire Annie Rosen, Annie and the Hedonists go back to those roots with skillfully arranged covers of timeless songs from many genres. No folk outfit around can match them."

Times Union "Faves of 2008" : "Annie and the Hedonists' "Good Ole Wagon" (Windy Acres): Jazz, blues, country, folk, bluegrass ... it's all here. Annie Rosen's versatile, vintage-tinged voice is the perfect match for the Hedonists' ace musicianship."

Pete Sutherland, Artistic Director, "Champlain Valley Folk Festival - Ferrisburgh, VT": : "We enjoyed having Annie and the Hedonists at Champlain Valley - we are proudly and unabashedly workshop-heavy up here and they jumped on every assignment like zebra mussels attacking a swimmer's bare foot - a rock-solid, entertaining festival act."
