Editorial Review

Buzz McClain reviewed a March 2006 performance by the Hickories for The Washington Post:

The Hickories, an Arlington-based five-piece that released its debut offering, "Lost in Pennsylvania," in September, showed off an elegant, upbeat presence with warm, inviting songs that combined the best of folk and country.

The intricate, melodic vocal interplays between guitarist-singer Michelle Volpe and harmony singer Meghan Sharp are the songs' hooks -- and it doesn't hurt that both are easy to look at -- but the band, particularly Mike Conner's tasteful electric guitar and a rhythm section often carrying the melody, is a bonus. The original songs, "1965" and "Heather Lane" among them, were compellingly varied, and their cover of the Beatles' "What Goes On" demonstrated a welcome playful side. Think Last Train Home with women singers. In fact, that would be a terrific double-bill.
