"Nancy's tour is the truest experience of Cajun food and music that you can get without being a local ... and I sure didn't feel like I was on a ‘tour’!" — Chuck Taggart, Gumbo Pages, former music programmer and DJ on KCRW, Los Angeles
“Nancy’s trips have a real spirit of exploration and adventure. She takes you to amazing places tourists never go. We made contacts and new friends and did so many things that you just couldn’t do on your own.” — Henry Kaiser, musician
"Everyone should go on Nancy's trip at least once in their lifetime!"
— Sandy Miranda, host of "Music of the World", on KPFA-FM, Berkeley, California
"Nancy, the tour was beyond amazing! Randy and I could not believe what we were hearing and who we were seeing. The whole experience was overwhelming -- we were stunned and speechless a good part of those three days and nights! The itinerary was great. You packed in so much, but we never felt rushed. We loved everything. But being in musicians' homes, meeting them and hearing music in those settings... wow, I still don't have words for that! The day with the Savoys was unforgettable. In fact, the whole thing was unforgettable! Incredible music, incredible food (did we eat enough…. you think?!), and some of the nicest folks we've ever met - both our fellow travellers and our hosts at every stop. Nancy, you're the kind of person who makes people feel they've known you always. What a great thing it is that you do! We could have made it to Cajun Country on our own, but we would never have had the kind of experiences we had on this tour!” — Linda and Randy Green, Illinois
"I’m sure I’m not the first to tell you what an extraordinary thing this is that you’ve created, this Cajun Country Tour. Your love of and respect for not just the music but the people and the entire culture is palpable. And it colors every mile of the trip. I can't imagine anyone else leading that wacky busload of folks.” — Tess & Jane
"It was largely Nancy’s energy and vision as concert director that transformed the 150 capacity room from an out –of the –way “folkie” joint in the back of a guitar shop into one of Southern California’s hippest venues.” — Robert Hillburn, Los Angeles Times
“Nancy Covey was to her 150 seat domain what Bill Graham was to the Fillmore.” — LA Weekly
“We read about Nancy's tour and went with high expectations, but nothing could have prepared us. IT’S AN EXPERIENCE RATHER THAN A TOUR! No amount of words can prepare you; Like sex, you have to do it to truly know what it's all about! From the geniality of Geno Delafose ‘s evening of zydeco music, BBQ and dancing in his barn, to Marc Savoy's intense commitment to Cajun Culture ... Marc was the most gracious host at his beautiful home, made so welcoming by the grace of his wife Ann. I had heard stories about Nancy's crawfish boil at the Savoys' farm in print and on air. But it was so much more than one can comprehend! — Tim Robinson, Melbourne, Australia
