Here is what some people are saying about “Delta Reign”...
After performing for a packed Saenger theatre for USM “Roots Reunion” in Hattiesburg, MS...
"Delta Reign was a smashing hit with the Roots Reunion audience. The “delta style” bluegrass was a refreshing change to an audience quite accustomed to hearing bluegrass. When asked on a questionnaire what they liked best about the show a significant portion of the audience said “Delta Reign.” We are always happy when our newcomers get such a wonderful welcome to our lineup and look forward to the time when we can book Delta Reign again!..."
Dr. Curtis Austin, Center for Oral History and Cultural Heritage U.S.M.
“Delta Reign blended bluegrass with smooth swing and a jam band vibe that was completely at home on the Thacker Mountain stage. Our audience has become spoiled by the wealth of talent that comes through Oxford, and yet, Delta Reign had them applauding individual solos. Delta Reign combines fine picking chops with vocal harmonies that are as sweet and true as a shot of moonshine down on the levee...”
Jim Dees, host, Thacker Mountain Radio, Oxford, MS
“Delta Reign performed at our White Sands Music Festival. They did an outstanding job for us. They are all established musicians and they blend their music together beautifully. I had a lot of good comments from the fans about them.... I highly recommend Delta Reign for any festival or concert, you won't be disappointed...”
Harry Felder, promoter ~ White Sands Music Festival Chumuckla,
"Benita Murphy and her band Delta Reign bring a fresh perspective rarely accomplished in bluegrass...

"When I first heard Delta Reign a couple years ago - I thought they were really good, surprisingly fresh and had a solid sound from their band. ... they are still that, plus a whole lot more. Their latest offering is Awesome - the band is headed in the right direction.. UP! Delta Reign reigns!
Grace Muldoon ~ WWB Radio
“...I invited Pat and Benita with their band “Delta Reign” to perform at “St. Mary’s Knights of Columbus 2005 Crawfish and Bluegrass Extravaganza.” Over 1600 people found out what me and my family have known all along... “Delta Reign” is awesome ! We’ve had them back every year since. If you are looking to book some of our areas best performers, LOOK NO FURTHER!”
Edmond Naman ~ Juevenile Court Judge and Bluegrass promoter
“We asked Delta Reign to play for our wedding rehearsal dinner. We could not have been happier. Our guest list heralded from all over the US and Europe so we wanted to provide our guests with an authentic Southern experience. Delta Reign’s performance exceeded our expectations. Hovering above the crawfish, shrimp, and apple pie was a beautiful sound so striking that even the purest bluegrass fans in our group could not help but be impressed. I have been unable to keep count of the number of times during and since the party that we’ve heard from guests telling us how great the music was. I would recommend Delta Reign every day of the week and twice on Sunday. They are exceptional.”
Thomas P. Doyle, Principal ~ LA+SOUTH INC
."Listening to the recordings, (Delta Reign CD, 'Home') you'll find the music and your mood changing as each cut unfurls it's unique flavor...."
"The SEBA Breakdown" June 2011
"Delta Reign brings a fresh approach to our music with new tunes, good "pickin" and really nice vocals. They are sure to be crowd pleasers where ever their musical adventures may take them"
Jerry Williamson ~ bluegrass audio engineer
After a recent concert, Chamber of Commerce newsletter comment:
" The entertainment was audience interactive, fun, and innovative, not your average bluegrass...'"
This new band really excels... Delta Reign adds that swing feeling that sets them apart from the herd...
Don Kissil ~ Bluegrass Music Profiles ~ May/June 2011
"if you’d like to hear some fresh and lively fiddle and banjo turns on “Farewell Blues” or “Beaumont Rag,” you’ve come to the right place. And...if you want to hear a talented new band introduce you to some new voices, both singing and writing (with special kudos to the pretty ballad “Thankful”), Home can also be a place for your ears to take a rest.
