Boss Tweed was conceived in 2004 when Eric met Carolyn and Gerard in New York City. Their influences are as diverse as the cities they were born in, Chicago, New Orleans and a town with no traffic light in New Jersey.

"To say that Sills'' singing is sultry is an immense understatement. Her vocals resonate with a throaty anguish, torch songs sung straight from the heart...Egan''s licks are cool and classic... it''s rockabilly recast for a new era."
Vintage Guitar Magazine

"50''s throwbacks, crossing fast rockabilly with a laid-back beatnik influence."
Time Out New York

"Gutsy guitar licks... Egan''s guitar trades licks with Sills superb vocals... we go from Rockabilly to vintage Americana in 40 minutes."
Andy Riggs, Americana UK

"Swing meets cool jazz & blues with a touch of country twang - that''s what you get from NYC trio Boss Tweed. They supersede generic stereotypes, and Carolyn''s voice soothes your tired soul, leaving you aching for more on this self-titled release."
Michelle Terranova, WNHU
