Reception

Before a local performance in Raleigh, North Carolina in July 2016, Indy Week's Timothy Bracy wrote hopefully: "Long-running Austin soul and funk outfit Mingo Fishtrap features an agreeably accomplished horn-driven sound evocative of everything from Curtis Mayfield to early Chicago. Infectious tunes and plentiful chops figure to make for a crowd-pleasing evening."
