"...the songs truly connect with the audience. Lyrics really hit home in many instances, and are often full of wit on one hand, and reflection on another."
~CD Connection, Review of "When We're together".

"The title track, a joint Uncle Eddie and Robin songwriting effort, is packed with humor, yet seldom has a more touching song striking the true union of two individuals been written......Listening to the duo is not simply hearing the music, it is a window into a joining of souls, of wonderful, salt-of-the-earth souls."
~R. Scott Stewart, Wheeling Rock Depot, 11/14/2008, Review of "When We're Together"

"Their sound is rooted in the Appalachian music tradition, but because of their respective backgrounds, they have a quite broadened perspective of what that means..... Don't write the sound off as straight bluegrass or country, because the Mahonens' veer into the great beyond, to New Age and what they call 'chant rapgrass.' "

"Duet Delivers Unique Musical Experience"
"One of the Ohio Valley's most dynamic musical duos brings a unique mix of ingredients and years of musical experiences to their act.... The chemistry between Robin and Ed Mahonen is apparent on many levels. For one, they are a husband wife team that harnesses decades of their two distinctive musical backgrounds which cross paths with their collaboration. They proudly stay grounded in their roots, and that pride resonates throughout their new CD, 'When We're Together'...... So what happens when you bring a quirky seasoned bluegrass man together with a girl with jazz royalty in her DNA? 'When We're Together' captures that unique mix..... Regardless of the songs they play, Uncle Eddie and Robin put their own flavor to it."

"Mahonen's talents are in music, but he adds just the right amount of comedy to his songs. Laughter and music make for a great mix."

"Ed was able to say in one song what it took me a whole album to say."
