The Bodarks are "a porch-stompin', fiddle-sawin', bass-spankin' hootenanny," says
Lifestyle Frisco. Selected as a Shiner Rising Star finalist in their first year (2013), they have been described as "a genre-creating string band that's developed its own unique Americana music" (
Buddy Magazine), exhibiting "all kinds of cool elements from bluegrass to ragtime that really connect with the crowd" (
KHYI 95.3FM), and having "delightful harmonies that had the audience singing along to their songs as if it were their favorite karaoke jam" (
Blitz Magazine).
