"....ekoostik hookah is not only one of the most prolific jam bands,
but is one of the best."
- Mick Skidmore, Relix Magazine
"hookah seems to be the jam band who's gained the most heartfelt prominence
over the last year or so. Sure, every 365-er band worth their salt has their
own festival now, but the biannual Hookaville should soon be overtaking
the behemoth extravaganzas of Phish. Get in on the hookah phenomenon on
the ground floor while the getting's still good."
- Village Voice
"ekoostik hookah's songs offer a tight synchronicity bespeaking the
solid musical prowess so often missing in the rash of self-described "jam"
bands that seem to spring up almost daily. The sound is fluid and jazzy,
but it rocks with cascading, virtuoso keyboards and powerhouse guitar work."

"High Times is officially declaring Hookahville the coolest place
on the planet."
- Steve Hagar, editor, High Times at Hookahville X
"…unscripted, unchoreographed, unrehearsed spectacular display
of non-corporate rock."
- Everybody's News, Cincinnati, OH
"Its sound is polished - the product of endless hours on stage and
in the van. And it comes from a melting pot of influences as diverse as
the nationalities were on Ellis Island."
- Daily News, Breckenridge, CO
"It's much harder to describe than it is to enjoy."
