“The brainchild of singer-songwriter David J. Kelley, this Fresno, Calif., quartet plays emotional alt-pop with all the ups of a Ben Folds record and all the downs of a Radiohead epic.” –Performing Songwriter Magazine (Vol. 10, Issue 60, May 2003)

“From start to finish, the self titled release by 2 a.m. Orchestra is a damn fine album…The songs are richly orchestrated, catchy as hell, and oftentimes revel in a dewy eyed wonder of the world. On of the finer albums of the year and one that revels its many pleasures with each listening.” –Ink19.com (Terry Eagan, 2002)


“This disc is a stirring listen. You’ll listen hard, you’ll listen repeatedly, you’ll shush your loved ones…not wanting to miss a moment of the pure emotion embodied in these songs. I want to hear everything else they release(d), past, present and future.”
