Voted "Best Jam Band", Fort Collins Musician's Association, 2008.
"While most of us don't know what it's like to grow up a stone's throw from the Colorado Rockies, the Fort-Collins based band, Wasabi, can croon all day long about the alpine life. This mountain-bred sextet feels right at home in the intimate venues around their home-state, where they fuse the far-out sounds of psychaedlic rock with rootsy blues, earthy folk and a taste for sprawling jam sessions."

Voted "Best Jam/Improv" band, Westword Music Showcase 2007.
-Westword Newspaper, 06/28/07
"With the country bursting at the seams with new music it is hard for normal people to find a band that is truly unique. Wasabi stands out amongst this crowded music scene as an extremely talented band whom have quickly become one of Colorado's favorite groups."
-Jammed Online Music Magazine
"Wasabi has acquired a solid local following providing listeners with an 'acid blues dance' experience that attracts a wide audience."
-The Rocky Mountain Collegian, 04/08/04
"They show me a bit of what they mean as they really start to play: Their songs flow from one theme and rhythm smoothly into another, a well-balanced funk-rock mix using Collins' exceptional piano chops as both fulcrum and springboard. If the turn-arounds weren't so tightly executed, one might think the music was entirely improvised."
-The Rocky Mountain Bullhorn, 03/10/04
"The deep grooving music is only enhanced by the band's chemistry and intensely enjoyable stage presence."
-Scene Magazine, 03/01/04
"Borrowing its name from a Japanese horseradish, Wasabi is a band that leaves a fiery impression on any live music lover's taste buds. Playing a mix of jazz, blues, funk, trance and country (all with 'a backbone of ass kicking rock 'n' roll'), Wasabi offers a spicy new sound."
-The Rocky Mountain Collegian, 11/21/02
