What the Press and Venues says about us, from our Reverb Nation page

Atlanta Cafe / Press
“There's this band in New Jersey called "The Atlanta Café Band that has the spirit. They have a six song CD with no cover art at all. They've been playing around town up there and have the word "Atlanta" in their name out of respect for southern rock and music from The Delta. There's a picture of them with Anthony Gomes, who may be the best new blues guitarist there is. They are workingmen who love to play music, write good songs, and play that blues because it makes them happy and audiences like them.”
