- John Sinkevics, Grand Rapids Press, "Local Spin of the Week"

"Much like the dynamic, pulsating Celtic-infused music they play, Jim Spalink, Fred Willson, Michele Venegas and Carolyn Koebel live and breathe their instrumental magic.  From the moment you first hear this Grand Rapids-area band play, that rare combination of top-notch musicianship, musical acumen and passion bursts through."



- Keith Howard, Kalamazoo Public Library Blog 

“...for those of us who relish the instrumental side of Celtic-world fusion, this show was indeed a real treat. The four members seamlessly wove traditional Irish reels, an dro dance tunes (an dro is a traditional form of folk dance from Brittany), floating European and Middle Eastern influenced melodies and inspired originals into a dozen pieces to fill a gorgeous 90 minute set. The crowd of more than a hundred rewarded the group with a well-deserved standing ovation at the end.”

“An Dro’s musical fusion brings the audience round the world in its variety and substance.  No two songs too similar, this truly gifted group brings lively dance tunes, beautiful melodies and intriguing musical history to the stage.  A haunting evening of cross-cultural music- at intermission, my audience was already begging me to bring them back. It hadn’t been a week before I’d discussed a return date…”

“Zellie's Opry House struck gold with An Dro when we went looking for a group that would echo the world's ancient tones that gave birth to Bill Monroe’s American bluegrass.  Whether playing standard favorites or their own original tunes, An Dro's musicianship was absolutely stellar from beginning to end.  An Dro's sound was tight and clean, lively and soulful!  In the old country, peasants would have danced and kings would have smiled…at Zellie’s we simply let it sweep us to another place and time and thoroughly enjoyed the musical ride.  Mr. Monroe would’ve loved it.”
