Skip Anderson, winner of the 2015 Best Music Writing Award, states, "Fendrick & Peck harken back to the glory days of American folk music—stringed and strong. With inventive songsmithing and well-paired vocals...the duo reminds us why the genre continues to redefine its glorious, and refreshingly humble, relevance."

"Perhaps one of the most talked about acts to appear at NERFA this year was the duo of Fendrick and Peck. There was a “buzz” generated by their performance on Thursday night that built all weekend. Folk radio mainstay Mary Cliff from
Washington DC met this duo and invited them to come to NERFA. Wisconsin
natives, currently residing in Nashville, Fendrick and Peck are the
contemporary embodiment of what makes American folk music so intriguing.
Their original songs could easily be confused for ancient ballads that
were treasured by folk song collectors during the folk revival. There is
a refreshing old time sensibility to their songs that can easily be
accessed by contemporary audiences. Madeline Fendrick has a gorgeous
voice and a delightful sense of humor that wins over audiences. Brian
Peck displays a respectful understanding of the traditions that can be
found in his instrumentals as well as his songwriting. It is encouraging
to find new artists like this and I hope they will get support from the
folk community so that we can have more chances to witness their
performances." -Ron Olesko's Folk Music Notebook
