The Reason Your Listening

"The interplay between singer John Jett and singer/rapper Alex Middleton is a large part of the group’s appeal, and the band is versatile enough to play frequent acoustic sets in addition to its more typical full-band shows."

"Another local up-and-comer on the bill: The Reason You’re Listening, which melds laid-back Jack Johnson-esque acoustic pop with some fast-spitting emceeing and turntable scratching. A little like Gym Class Heroes, a little like Sublime, the quintet has the local college crowd, well, listening."

"The Reason Your Listening, 1 p.m.: This band’s mix of pop, rock and rap has caught the attention of local music fans."
