That was really sweet of Nile Rodgers to say that to them. Bravo.

[@stevelibby3]

I normally don’t listen to this kind of music, but I have been spellbound by them for the past year and drove several hours to see them play live… the band is equally incredible and the synergy between them is amazing. They are absolute diamonds and sweethearts. They are definitely going places and deserve every bit of success that they get!

[@marykatesullivan7128]

Anthony Mason always has the best stories!

[@beausedivy7585]

One of the most amazing groups out there. Incredible voices and spot on music. And freakin awesome live

[@jeffblack5024]

The girls (and let's not forget the awesome band) are tapping into something real. Seeing them do a cover of the Jackson Sisters' 'I Believe In Miracles' is a direct line to 70s disco soul before the machines took over.

[@savethezombies]

they do a cover of Talking Heads' "slippery People" that is just as amazing.

[@GrahamClark-x4i]

The most exciting trio to emerge in music in 2023
