“Pete Sawyer & The Left Hand Monkey Wrench Gang is one of the most compelling recent entries into the world of Grateful Dead Tributes” — Nick Sestanovich, The Santa Cruz Sentinal
"From the first note to the final encore, audiences can expect a night of inspired musicianship, soulful improvisation, and a musical chemistry that only forms when top-tier artists share the stage. Drawing from the deep well of classic rock, psychedelia, and the storied traditions of the Grateful Dead and other influential pioneers, Pete Sawyer and The Left Hand Monkey Wrench Gang transport listeners on a sonic journey that pays tribute to the past while forging ahead into new musical territory.” — GratefulWeb.com
“My first visit to the Tabard Theatre was this past weekend to see Pete Sawyer & the Left-Hand Monkey Wrench Gang. The band's promise of "all killer, no filler" Grateful Dead music was an understatement. They are as good as any band of that genre that I have ever seen (DSO, Grateful Shred, JRAD, etc.).” Michael Palmini (relix.com)
