Sep 2008 Shinbone Magazine - CD Review 'Persist'
The Harrisburg-based group's latest effort, "Persist", is suffused in the sweetly smoky refrains of Myers' harp. That pocket-sized instrument is ably backed by the quartet's roots-and-funk-based sound, with a rich undercurrent of Delta blues, guaranteed to make you want to get off your rear end and shake the dust off.

Aug 2008 Billtown Blues Association - CD Review 'Persist'
Originally hailing from the Billtown area, there are many who will always consider Nate to be hometown talent. It was in our streets, at our clubs and in our homes that he honed his considerable talents. Much akin to Rod Piazza in many respects, including his dynamic flair, Nate Myers has a way of grabbing the audience's attention from the opening notes. More about: Billtown Blues Review
Jun 2008 Michael Anthony Smith, WRVV 97.3FM 'The River' - CD Review 'Persist'
Nate Myers paid a visit to the studio to promote his new album "Persist". There's a lot of growth on this album. The songs are coming out of the pain of dealing with some hardships of life. The songs are honest, and the band plays behind him like a well oiled machine. This is easilly one of the best recordigs I have heard this year. There is some real beauty here. The song writing is solid, humorous and at times confessional. This is one of those albums that I want to tell everyone to get.
Get this album.
Feb 2008 Nate Myers & The Aces - Fly Magazine
In a little bar outside of the downtown Harrisburg scene, a middle-aged man in a corner nonchalantly gazes at a woman across the bar, a waitress breathes in her first cigarette after a long shift, a handful of people linger after dinner and a few early drinkers laugh a little too loudly...

Jan 2008 Review by Pres. Randy Hoffman of The Blowtorch Blues Society
I don't usually write reviews on, or even listen to, Acoustic Blues. So many cd I receive in this genre are either so Dobro repetitive they drive me crazy, or they've been to Fur Peace Ranch and have copied Jorma's techniques to the Nth degree. I received a nice request from Nate Myers to review this cd and when I received it there was a nice note, so I put it in on my last road trip. As soon as I knew it was Acoustic Blues, I thought 'OK, maybe I can make it through this'. NICE SURPRISE!!! More about: Blowtorch Blues Society Review of 'Sit Back, Relax
July 8-9, 2005 Arts In Society - Briggs Farm Blues Festival Review
Nate Myers & The Aces came on stage with a no nonsense, tight, melodic and personable approach to music what was refreshing. Nate Myers (vocal/harmonica) was not only a very good musician but also one of the best singers of the festival. They were the best band of Day #2 for sure, and I bought two CDs.

June/July 2005 Blues Revue Magazine (Review of The Lonesome Plowboy)
Based on his recognizable surname, a Pennsylvania-based harp man borrows a historically significant name for his band. It sounds like the basis for an embarrassment of epic proportions. Not so.
Nate Myers & The Aces achieve a credible Chicago sound; their delivery (and Myers' casual vocals) are deceiving. The band sounds loose but is actually just relaxed and sloppy in the right places. Great feel and dynamics, and good songs --- the jumping "Clap Your Hands", the Berry-esque rocker "If It Were Up To Me", the requisite powerhouse harp workout "Jawbreaker", a greasy Slim Harpo-style number "Fried Chicken", push-me-pull-you funk "Now or Never" among them - make 'The Lonesome Plowboy' an engaging self-released album. A trip to Clarksdale to record with Jimbo Mathus and to enlist Big Jack Johnson to play guitar on five tracks didn't hurt matters. -- Tom Hyslop
March 24, 2005 Williamsport Sun Gazette
...When the smoke cleared, harmonica player Nate Myers and his band the Aces were declared the winner, by virtue of ballots cast by association members. Myers, the final act of the evening, opened his half-hour set with the self-penned instrumental "Jawbreaker" - then preceded to whip the crowd into a frenzy with his extraordinary stage presence and musicianship.
