"Screen Door Porch lends an easy Western flair to their more prominent native influences of North Carolina and Kentucky. Rose's voice triangulates the soulful grit of Lucinda Williams, the easy twang of Gillian Welch, and the acoustic indie intensity of new songstresses like Sera Cahoone, melding well with Davis' understated drawl...a combination that goes down as smoothly as top-shelf bourbon."
- Austin Chronicle

"On Modern Settler, Screen Door Porch has transformed roots music into something much larger—a down home good time vibe. Sonic hypnosis has set in and Screen Door Porch seem like the only place to live."
- Bently’s Bandstand Best Releases, 2015

"An impressive musical discovery."
- Paste Magazine

“With entrepreneurial gumption, Screen Door Porch founded the hardscrabble economics of the WYOmericana Caravan Tour—a traveling concert circus. They brought on all the musicians for a rousing group encore. Then, as if on cue (the West is still rowdy), a fight broke out.”
- The New York Times

“Rose & Davis swap lead vocals to suit the song and songwriter, a sort of Lennon/McCartney arrangement and get it right every time: heartfelt yes, earthy certainly, but never languid. ‘Burnin’ At Both Ends’ and ‘Shift Work’ show both our heroes at their most gritty. The reality is that Seadar Rose and Aaron Davis go together like bacon and eggs. This is the sound of America, untamed and infinite.”

"

Something new and fresh that can't or shouldn't be compared with anyone or anything else. But if I did...Stevie Nicks meets The Band, with Ryan Adams and Bonnie Raitt hanging out backstage."
- 605 Magazine

“Wyoming’s own Bonnie Raitt. Meet Seadar Rose of Screen Door Porch.”- Music MunchModern Settler mimics the vast, open vistas of the area with its loose, jammy songs chock-full of searing slide guitar and stacked vocal harmonies.”
- Country Weekly Magazine

"Screen Door Porch is a true American Roots album...Rose’s vocals have the gorgeous drawl of Lucinda Williams, while Davis sounds like Whiskeytown-era Ryan Adams."
- Maverick Magazine (4 of 5 stars)

“The beauty and power of their surroundings do not pick favorites when used as tone and textures on The Fate & The Fruit. Acoustic grace, electric overdrive…roots-pop precision.”
- The Alternate Root

“An extensive collection of roots instruments...it is striking how well they manage those instruments while taking their songwriting to a higher level."- Rootstime (Belgium)

“The overall semi-acoustic design is glamorous...wonderfully compelling. The Fate & The Fruit reflects the atmosphere of the spatial landscapes of their home state. Beautiful.”
- Real Roots Cafe

"Rose and Davis’ vocals combine to fabulous effect, alluding to Ryan Adams and The Cardinals jamming with Mazzy Star...An album of soulful honest music, managing to be equally true to its core Americana roots as it is to being forward looking and adventurous."
- Americana UK (8 of 10 stars)
