La Grande Observer, 5.22.03

QUOTES:

"The Heard is a local musical gang of four that knows its way around folk rock, Celtic tunes and... the djembe, the conga, the tambourine, the mandolin and on and on.
"And they write all their own songs, too.
"The Heard is:
"Mark Utting, former Seattleite on vocals, guitar and other instruments.
"M.B. Whitaker, a singer with a Celtic bent who first transfixed us some years back. Her voice filled the basement of the Log Cabin Literary Center during a whisky and recitation-heavy celebration of Scottish poet Bobby Burns' birthday.
"Daniel Reed, a gospel-folk fellow from west of here sings, plays bass and acoustic guitar.
"Josh Bogle, who has four recordings under his belt, came to Boise from Portland four years ago and sings, plays multi-guitar -- electric, acoustic, slide -- and the conga drum...."
- The Idaho Statesman's Thrive

"Each [band member] brings a different slant, from rock to celtic to jazz to gospel and folk, making a mix that is tasty and supremely musical...."
- The Observer

"The fresh bread. The bottle of wine. The Heard. One of the essential pleasures... "
- Local Wine Spectator

"First-rate original songs with folk-rock, celtic, blues and jazz influences, featuring 4-part harmonies, slide guitar, 12-string guitar, mandolin, congas and more. Craftsmanship and variety are the hallmarks of this band of four singer/songwriters. Have YOU heard The Heard?"
