About Kevin Carnes:

“Kevin Carnes, widely acknowledged as the best drummer in San Francisco.”
– LA Weekly

“Carnes, the drummer from Oakland with the nice smile, plays the hell out of the drums.”
– Chico News & Review

“Kevin Carnes’ deft way with the sticks, brushes and mallets … a swirling mass of sound within which you roam, using the beats to orient yourself.”
– New York Press

“Mad trap-kit workouts straying so far from easy dance-floor grooves.”
– Best of the Bay, SF Bay Guardian

“The broun fellinis are proof that musical revolutionaries still exist.”

About Amy Tobin and The Esther Show:

“Her big voice and sly lyrics introduce sides of Esther, Haman, and the gang that you never saw in Hebrew school.”
– flavorpill

“The production, created by golden-throated local singer/writer Amy Tobin, is adult and refreshingly irreverent, filled with references to Purim's seamier aspects.”
– SF Weekly

“Picture a jam-packed North Beach nightclub. On stage, a "Rocky Horror"-style Purimshpiel is under way … Haman is played as Marlene Dietrich decked out in fishnet stockings and top hat. The crowd, mostly Jewish Gen-Xers, goes wild.”
– J Weekly

“Tobin gets explicit and silly about Esther's sex life – there is a comic tension in The Esther Show between her nice-girl hairdo, reminiscent of Baby in Dirty Dancing, and the knee-boots and leather hot pants down below.”
