"Raucous and Rowdy local 3 piece lays down some of the grittiest and dirty blues/funk around, an essential show for fans of Tom Waits, Black Keys and Mofro. Fronted by larger than life Mouth Harp Destroyer Ernie Locke, formerly of Tenderloin, Nervous Turkey brings Copious amounts of Intensity with every performance." - Matt E (Poetry N' Lotion)
"Nervous Turkey perform unabashedly raucous barroom blues-rock marked by the guttural vocal growls and fierce harmonica playing of bandleader Ernie Locke." -Creative Loafing (5/24/07)
"Nervous isn’t a word you’d use to describe frontman Ernie Locke’s gut tural, Tom Waitsy voice. With his harmonica, guitar, and raucous band mates Aaron Fowler and Mark Cunningham, Locke and Nervous Turkey kick out some of the nastiest blues tunes around Tampa Bay. They’ll be among a handful of local acts at WMNF’s Tropical Heatwave on May 17. myspace.com/nervousturkeyband." - TBT (3/21/08)
