GRAPE & WINE, 2007
NRS @ GRAPE & WINE, 2007
left - right: Steve Grisbrook, Dave Norris, Steve Goldberger, Sandra Marynissen, Mike Dixon, Penner MacKay, Denis Keldie & Peter Griffin

"I went down to the Cork in Niagara on the Lake afterwards to hear a set with John Dickie and the NRS. It was so good, and the company so fine that I ended up staying the night. John led the band into uncharted territory. Doing 'funky' and odd versions of everything he called. Like a swampy halftime 'Nadine'. Or a mid tempo gospel 'the Weight'. Think the Staples 'Respect Yourself' not their version with the Band. John is such a courageous singer, and is always walking on the edge. Roger Niznick was playing with the band on his Nord double manual digital Hammond clone and his Pro 900 Leslie. He is a wonderful player and showed great flexibility and taste when needed. Of course he can also turn on the jets and displayed some wonderful virtuosity at times, but my favourite playing of his was his soulful playing. The NRS never sounded better. - Lance Anderson, March 2010

"There are tons of gigs like this going on across the country - seasoned musicians, holding court as invited guests make each week's show a special event ... Some, of course, do it better than others. Together since 2003, The Niagara Rhythm Section play like the dream band every guest longs for - tight yet supple, responding to the musical needs of the moment with assurance and aplomb, accomplished enough to get along quite well on their own, yet selfless enough to concentrate on making the star shine. - Canadian Blues.ca

"Niagara Rhythm Section and guests is best entertainment value in Niagara" - Bob & Terry Wheatley, NOTL

" ...one of the town's best sources of entertainment - Steve Goldberger and the Niagara Rhythm Section at the Anchorage every Saturday night. The three times I have been during the past three months I am amazed ...to hear some truly excellent musicians. God bless Steve for his enthusiasm and persistence... Come on NOTL residents, get out and enjoy the fun." - Jon Nicholls, (letter to the Editor, Niagara Advance)

"...Later that same night ... I dropped in on Steve Goldberger and the band over at The Ancorage in Niagara-On-The-Lake. Besides Steve on (kicking) bass, there was Dennis Keldie on (steaming) keys, Steve Grisbrook on (burning) guitar, Mark Inneo on (smoking) drums, and Penner McKay on (smoldering) percussion. Why are these guys so @#$% good?" - Greg Holmes

"...brother let me tell ya, you guy's are the tits!!. if your music was a gumbo, i'd have to say i tasted so many spices including, but not limited to, afro celtic sound system, dave grusin, toots thielman, djanjo rienhardt, stephan grappelli, hot tuna, the chieftains, jackson browne, victor wooten. man, the spices just kept goin' on." - another satisfied music lover
