"Ratso is firmly in the blues tradtion of Albert King and Stevie Ray Vaughan."

- Music Critic & Author Bruce Pollock

"Searing guitar work . . . Devotion to purity of form fuels Ratso's blues."

- Connecticut Post

"Few guitarists have John (Ratso) Gerardi's ability to signal his influences while breaking new ground with his own style in a tune. On Rattled: Ratso Live, Ratso crafts a fresh, searing sound while echoing riffs of Keith Richards, B.B. King and Stevie Ray Vaughn, and bringing new life to classics by Chuck Berry, Jimi Hendrix, Muddy Waters and The Beatles. Rattled captures a band of working musicians in high gear, giving the audience everything they have to offer."

Smokin'! Ratso cooks up a storm! When Ratso plays, the place goes silent, heads turn and customers grab their drinks, wide-eyed - 'Who is that guy?' - and drift toward the music. We're proud of how we smoke our BBQ, but that Ratso, he's sizzling in every way.
