Giga Tracks
....KDB comes out of Portland and this band is full of top-notch talent. Several Grammy nominees and winners make up the band. And you can tell just by listening to this track that these guys really know how to play. Not just in a technical way, but in a melodic way of knowing when to play and when to just lay back and let it ride.
Soul and funk are two genres that have been lacking over the past few years. Luckily we’ve got aritsts like the Ken Derouchie Band that are showing how it’s supposed to be done.
Oregonian A&E
RECOMMENDED - Recording a live album, DeRouchie and friends play an energetic funk good for a night of dancing.
Oregonian A&E
...this sharp dressed dance band puts funk and soul back into rock & roll.
Oregonian A&E
DeRouchie, who not only writes all the songs but also plays guitar and sings, has a deep, powerfull, resonant voice that carries well on tunes that have a heavy groove. His Mowtown inspired originals come accross with feeling and energy...
Eugene Weekly
...you should try keeping up with the endless groove the 10 piece Ken DeRouchie Band pumps out in the course of an evening!
The Rocket
...if you lust for soulful funk, this local artist's most recent statement is as rock solid as they come, and should be snatched up at your local music establishment ASAP!
Statesman Journal Weekend
Like the somewhat jumbled title, (FunkSoulJazzPopLatinRock) The DeRouchie Band's music is full of all those genre's and more, all colliding and fusing into one seriously sassy, danceable mix.
Willamette Week
The album is an impressively mature product from such a young band; it benefits from an intense horn section and smooth, thoughtful genre jumping and melding.
Willamette Week
...as the Ken DeRouchie Band aims to mix Blues, soul, jazz, funk, latin dance, rock and pop and not have it sound like a sonic car crash. It doesn't. It sounds more like a party attended by everyone from Curtis Salgado to Barry White and War.
