"In my opinion, Dynamo represents one of the next chapters in improvisational-based music. They can play, they are passionate, they are hungry, and they are dedicated to the music. I hope this band is around for a good long while and that they achieve the high level of success they deserve."
-Jeff Coffin
(Dave Matthews Band, Bela Fleck & The Flecktones, Jeff Coffin Mu'tet, 3 time Grammy winner)
"(John's) playing and tone was so clean, unencumbered by the effects we have grown so accustomed to in the jam scene and so wonderfully void of them in his solo. If face melting guitar work are what you yearn for, look no further than John Murphy as he consistently delivered licks and fills throughout the night.... leaving any guitar enthusiasts mouth fully agape and jaw on the floor."

"Equally at home during the show's more spiritual number as they are the more spirited solid rockers that dominate the piece."
