“... Songwriter Eddie Mugavero's considerable musical muscle is matched by his deliciously twisted sense of humor.” - Rusty Russell

— MUSIC ROW MAGAZINE

“____________________ “Mugavero writes in colorful, distinct images, and his words are as snappy as the dialogue from a classic Hollywood comedy.”” - Michael McCall

— THE NASHVILLE SCENE

“____________________ “Love, love, love this. You need this music in your life.”” - Robert K. Oermann

— MUSIC ROW MAGAZINE

“____________________ Lots of swing bands seem to be stuck with two choices: sound like you’re totally lost in retroland, or try to modernize the sound through off-color lyrics, too many references to present day events and predicaments or cute little musical quotes from rock or pop songs. None of that cheese-spread here, thanks. SPEND SOME is a classic, its hepcat, slang-rich lines sounding like they could come from just about any era. Likewise, LEAVE YOUR BAGGAGE OFF MY TRAIN...” - Rusty Russell

— MUSIC ROW MAGAZINE

“____________________ The Nashville 'feel good' record of the year!" (DiscClaimer Review of BadaBing BadaBoom's first release, Volume II)” - Robert K. Oermann

— MUSIC ROW MAGAZINE

“____________________ “The real stars of the show are Eddie Mugavero’s sharply tuned timeless songs…”” - Michael McCall

— THE NASHVILLE SCENE

“____________________ “More fun than a food fight at an Italian restaurant. A mix of clever songwriting, tight harmonies, and excellent musicianship make these guys one of our new faves."”

— BLUEBIRD CAFE NEWS

“____________________ Badabing Badaboom has built a rabid local following in Nashville playing a decidedly un-southern style of music. Taking the stage after Crowd Of One, Bandleader/guitarist/part-time vocalist Eddie Mugavero (a common southern name, no?) lead his ragtag group through a set of original big band-era jazz tunes with a decidedly uptown feel. Augmented by trumpet and fiddle, and fronted by a talented vocal duo reminiscent of the Andrews Sisters, the group teaches the town of twang how to swing. Being originally from the Chicago era, this reviewers personal favorite tune of theirs is called "That's What I like About The North." I can't see them landing a record deal out of an NEA Showcase, but to any rock weary A&R dude who might have been in attendance, this could have been the most enjoyable show he or she saw all week.”

— THE AMPLIFIER

“____________________ “Mugavero puts his cards on the table in no uncertain terms with “THAT’S WHAT I LIKE ABOUT THE NORTH” (Braves fans should skip this one). The intricate harmonies of lead vocalists Maureen Mohr and Rebecca Sayre, along with Mugavero’s writing, are the centerpiece of the album..”” - Neil Fagan

— PERFORMING SONGWRITER MAGAZINE

“____________________ A small crowd is soaking up the original tunes written by BadaBing BadaBoom's front man and guitarist, Eddie Mugavero...an uncommon blend of music.” - Chris Stovall-Staff Writer
