June 2, 2010 BOSTON'S WEEKLY DIG GIVES "WOW MAMA" REVIEW
May 21, 2010 SEACOAST ONLINE WRITES GREAT REVIEW! THE PRESS ROOM TONIGHT!
"Boston-based band Hey Mama's self-titled debut is a tasteful amalgamation of shimmering blues, twangy Americana, and raucous rock 'n' roll music. Co-founder and lead guitarist Avi Salloway is one of the most gifted and smooth guitarists in the Northeast and he lets it all hang out on this recording, really driving the music and pumping limitless quantities of energy into the tunes present on this album."

December 1, 2009 HEY MAMA IS RELEASED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Mama was recorded with Grammy nominated producer Jack Gauthier. We weaved in recording sessions throughout our summer tour, when we jazzed up from the energy of the live shows. While proudly displaying its rock vibe, it’s hard to miss the undercurrents of blues and roots-country music that run throughout the songwriting. The album resembles an art collection, providing a many-textured look at contemporary experiences, political and personal. Launching off the band’s fiery synergy is Celia Woodsmith’s explosively emotive voice, powerful but at times peacefully tender. The record also features guest appearances from The Tecumseh Strings, a chamber group of Boston’s finest string players.
We are very proud of the record, it’s our best work yet and it is very exciting to share it with you!
Come celebrate with us on our CD RELEASE PARTY TOUR:
12.4 – Northampton, MA – Bishop’s Lounge
12.5 – Burlington, VT – Nectar’s
12.10 – New York, NY – The Bitter End
12.11 – Cambridge, MA – The Lizard Lounge
12.12 – Cambridge, MA – The Lizard Lounge
12.19 – Lebanon, NH – Lebanon Operah House
