“No matter where you catch The Maggie Valley Band, you are sure to enjoy their brand of Americana as only two siblings playing together for a lifetime can bring.”

“As sweet vocal harmonies and the catchy twang of the banjitar kick in on the opening track listeners will be totally caught off guard by the melancholy, loss, death and despair that is to follow.”

““Whitney and Carolina Miller of the Maggie Valley Band have a fresh take on an old country sound. Their brand of “dark Appalachian music” will simultaneously crush your soul and send your heart soaring.” ”

“In addition to the harmonies, The Hardest Thing turns a fresh spotlight on the band’s assured competence with Appalachian music and retro touches such as midcentury ‘60s influences.”

“The Maggie Valley Band captures the heart of Appalachia. Their music is genuine in that it resonates deep within the band members before an audience hears even a chord. In a society consumed with instant gratification and idols of endless genre, The Maggie Valley Band surfaces strength, heart, and traditions of simpler days.”

“What really sets the group apart is the almost chilling vocal harmony of the sisters Miller. There is a weight to the music here that occasionally echoes The Band at its best. The group’s songs are filled with evocative images of timeless struggles. It usually takes a lifetime to write the kinds of songs these talented sisters have already created.”

““The sights and sounds of the MVB might be more electric nowadays, but the sense of purpose and evolving talents behind them — the hell or high-water mentality — remains stronger than ever.”
