"This hot quintet from Tucson is a super energetic indie rock band laced with funk and a definite amount of soul." - Katie Fox, Creamy Radio
"...their sound carefully walks a tightrope between jazzy soul and electric funk with sweet, smooth vocals." - Flagstaff Live
"The Tryst has worked tirelessly, consistently playing shows throughout the Southwest and quickly becoming one of the top concert draws in Tucson, Arizona. ...their performances never disappoint." - The Arizona Reporter
"[Keli] Carpenter might draw comparisons to Norah Jones, but Jones was never backed by music as eclectic as this." - Adam Herrington, Whisperin and Hollerin
"So much more fulfilling than the empty secrets of a clandestine affair, Tucson’s The TRYST is a hot quintet that is a sensual, auditory delight. - Jamie Manser, Downtown Tucsonan
"...while for some bands the adjective, [eclectic], intones a mash-up of genres, The Tryst navigates the listener from jazz to soul with a gentle hand. ... They want you to linger over their cocktail of sounds, not knock it in your lap." - Polly Higgins, Metromix Tucson
"although foraging among genres isn't uncommon, The Tryst are exceptionally experimental; their songs are unpredictable and apt to head in unexpected directions." - Linda Ray, Tucson Weekly
