"If a young Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel had ever gathered with Brian Wilson and the young Beach Boys and formed a Nashville string band, it might just have sounded like The Farewell Drifters."
- Zachary Greenberg, The Nashville Review
 
"Yellow Tag Mondays fully embodies their upbeat spirit, tight harmonies and the nostalgic, homey twang of an all-string ensemble."
- Whitney Baker, Paste Magazine
 
"If it's sunny, harmony-laden roots music you seek, these songs would make a fine addition to your next mix CD alongside the Jayhawks and Avett Brothers."
- Jennifer Cooke, Pop Matters
 
"Before the genre gavel comes down, the judge would be advised to listen to the bulk of their album, on which The Farewell Drifters seem to be a straight-up rock/pop outfit that just happens to pick acoustic axes and lack a drummer."
- Jim Allen, All Music Guide
 
"This young band has seemingly done the impossible; combined odd, old elements to make something new and intriguing that others hadn't thought of."
- David Malachowski, Times Union
 
The Farewell Drifters create harmonic roots music that draws influence from the traditions of folk, bluegrass, film scores, 60's revolutionary pop, and their young Nashville peers. They have been delighting audiences everywhere from MerleFest to intimate listening rooms with their dynamic performances, and their album “Yellow Tag Mondays” debuted at number 10 on the Billboard Bluegrass chart.
