“With big hearts and lots of talent, this duo carries the traditional music of North Carolina into the 21st Century” – Eno River Association presents 37th annual Festival for the Eno. Saturday, July 2nd at the River Stage (2016)
“…The duo keeps it both polished and fresh. They blend old traditionals – Uncloudy Day segues into I’ll Fly Away, the harmonies seamless – and then hang around after to chat with new fans.” – Tracy Davis, Walter Magazine, Raleighites – Girl Power (March 2016)
“The traditions of bluegrass music are best handed down person to person, one generation to the next. Chloe Lang and her sister, Jessica, are part of the next generation of bluegrass musicians eagerly learning everything being passed to them.” – Carol Tabor, The Wake Weekly, The Future of Bluegrass Lies with Two Sisters (Dec 2014)
“Chloe and Jessica are dedicated young musicians who are always in search for more music education opportunities. They have been an active and enthusiastic participant in PineCone’s relatively new Youth Council, leading by example and being role models for our younger members. They have been actively involved with the Chatham County Junior Appalachian Musicians group – they dedicate so much time and energy to their musical pursuits, and it has been such a pleasure to see them grow over the years. We are excited to see where their music will take them in the future, and we are proud to have played a role in their music education.” – William Lewis, PineCone, the Piedmont Council of Traditional Music (2016)
