"Quote"The Nashville based duo “Quote” “manages to skirt the edges of pop, folk, blues, old-school country, and rock, and meld tracks that feel like they belong together.” (Pulse, Murfreesboro). Hailing from California, “Quote” songwriters Jamie Bennett and Justin Tam have spent the past two years crisscrossing the US and harmonizing tunes for both planned and unexpected audiences. “They have a knack for evoking setting and backstory… contributing a classic to the singer/songwriter cannon.” (Nashville Scene). “Quote,” however, is a larger project than the typical musical minstrel show. Bennett and Tam have released a book entitled The Pace of Our Feet. Each tune on the album has an accompanying interpretive work of literature and visual art created with the recruited aid of authors and artists. “The result is a book that explores the range of perception and creativity, inviting a much deeper look at their songs” (Pulse, Murfreesboro). “While their harmonies boom, other instruments creak, shimmy and groan in the background. “Quote” songs exist as freestanding milieus for the moods and characters residing within.” (The Nashville Scene) The band plays mostly acoustic instruments while vocalizing infectious melodies and occasionally mixing in a raucous, foot stomping sing along. “At their highs, Tam and Bennett sound like silk on fire.” (WRVU, Nashville) With their mystical lyrics and vivid imagery, "Quote" is sure to please any quixotic lover of the quirky."

"The Anti-Digital Artist Collective: Artwork is nothing new to the world of popular music... (but)"Quote" is taking a time honored tradition to a whole new level." .Performing Songwriter Magazine. "Set apart by their gentle poetic lyrics, the duo Quote isn't content to simply drop a record. What makes their album The Pace Of Our Feet truly great is that Bennett and Tam turned it into a kind of exploration into the intersection of multiple artistic media." .SliceToday(BaltimoreSun). "...it's as if Tam and Bennett took the time to create an entire world for their songs." .Nashville Scene. "'Quote' manages to skirt the edges of pop, folk, blues, old-school country, and rock, and meld tracks that feel like they belong together.” .Pulse Murfreesboro. "Now these gentlemen have a fine way with words. 'Standing on the Ocean' (is) just the kind of song that the Eagles wish they could write nowadays." .Blues Bunny UK Review. "...a stunning production, intriguing songwriting, and a breath of fresh air from this Nashville group." .Matt Morelock - WDVX - The Blue Plate Special. “At their highs, Tam and Bennett sound like silk on fire.” .WRVU.Nashville. ____________________________________________________________ "Quote" on Local Lightning 100 Spotlight!"Quote" has been selected to be featured this week on Nashville's own Lightning 100 Local Music Spotlight.
