"It's a stunningly beautiful set of quiet-yet-engaging songs anchored by Wahler's in-you-ear vocals and Parido's achingly gorgeous sound. Whether his contribution is part of the background, or a solo that creeps from the background and engulfs the listener, his playing is pointed and pretty, soulful and satisfying."
~Rob Nichols, Nuvo , 9/26/10 "Goodnight Charlotte" review
"I don't think it's a stretch to say that what The Maple Trio is doing is unique in this town - they can spill into bluegrass and Appalachian territory, but their sound owes more to chamber music than a raw folk sound, bearing resemblance to the avant-chamber experiments of bands like Rachel's and Gastr Del Sol or the Americana work of Bill Frisell. "
~Scott Shoger, Nuvo, on the Maple Trio, February 2009
"The album's packaging credits "Cara Jean Wahlers and Grover Parido" as makers of this music, but the value of Parido's contributions on cello still manages to surprise. Far from a predictable singer-songwriter-with-an-acoustic-guitar project, "Charlotte" delivers plenty of sonic textures to maintain a listener's interest."
