John Ferra, Independent Music Reviewer, writes, ‘If we invite Jason Montero to this party, we’re going to have to raise the cover charge — as rhythm players go, Jason is worth twice his weight in whatever you want to measure him by. So many young players think rhythm is just a banal little beast waiting to be put out of its misery. Jason proves that the rhythm section is anything but boring, ripping through chord changes and passing in and out of melodies like a cat-burglar in a blackout, and I haven’t even said anything about his voice.

Jason’s vocals are pensive and thoughtful… his voice has a characteristic warmth and a rough edge that makes you feel as though you’re listening to an old friend relate a personal part of his life, using just enough emotion to make it memorable and poignant rather than overwrought.’

Jim Capaldi, founder of the legendary rock band Traffic, said, “…Watching them play, I had the same kinetic experience I had once years ago when I first saw Jefferson Airplane perform!” after seeing Jason’s band, Honey Child, play one night at the legendary House of Blues on the Sunset Strip.

Later that same year, Honey Child was chosen as the best-unsigned band in Arizona and featured in the book Jam Bands, North America’s Hottest Live Groups(Dean Budnick, ECW Press). They also won the first national Band2Band Combat and appeared on the HORDE Tour.

Arizona’s Get Out Magazine wrote, “You could toss a stone these days and hit a jam band, but you’d throw your arm out before you would hit one like Honey Child.”
