Reception

Before a performance in Raleigh, North Carolina, in July 2016, Indy Week's Timothy Bracy wrote, "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."^[8]
