Acclaim
"After almost two decades of producing concerts I have gotten used to the fact that great new talent only comes along once in a blue moon. Well the moon was blue a few months ago when I was in the audience watching and listening to Port City Prophets. It takes a lot for this seasoned bluesahollic to get excited and trust me when I tell you, they are one very exciting band."
Steve "The Blues Boss" Simon, Steve Simon Presents: festival creator (Bluestock Festival, Bluzapalooza International Blues Fest for the troops).
When guitarist Troy Tolle breaks out the slide for the slow, funky blues of Jesus Saved My Soul, But the ZZ Top connection shows through musically and thematically. But the power, straightforwardness, and bassist Tim Kirkendalls Mark-Farner-like vocals remind one most of Grand Funk. Tolles showcase guitar is more fluid and a bit more dazzling than Farners, but the sweat energy, helped in no small part by Henry Ancrums drums, is up there with the best of them.

"Port City Prophets, MULE.. I done been to church because this debut album is a religious experience. Can I get a Hallelujah!"
--- Kool Breeze - Wild Bill Radio
"...this is as hot as a Saturday Night Special. Billed as Low-country Blues and Soul, this band is pure emotional power with the musical chops to back it up. It truly is rare when something this powerful hits my desk"
---Bill Wilson - Reflections In Blue
"For the last three years or so, they have built quite a reputation around their incendiary live shows ...". "The Port City Prophets are bent on making a huge splash in contemporary blues with the release of Mule. Captivating lyrics and excellent musicianship carry this one over the top!"
