"Nick Tremulis is the musical mayor of Chicago"
 -  Norm Winer, Program Director/WXRT-Chicago



"One doozy masterpiece of boho groove and growl!" Timeout/London



"Here I am still at work on a Friday night.  I was trying to give a quick listen to one more CD before I headed out the door.  But would Nicholas Tremulis' Napoleon let me give it a quick listen?  Hell no.  It just sucked  me in, raised my eyebrows, made my toes tap and ask why the hell don't I know this guy??  Elaine C. Erb, Music Director/KGNU-Boulder, CO


"Nicholas Tremulis is tremulendous! -  Mike Sauter, Music Director/WYEP – Pittsburgh


"One of the best records of the year."  - Tom Jackson/WLUW -Chicago


"Recorded quickly and with minimal studio fuss, "Napoleon" is a typically fervent, sweaty offering that swirls together rock, soul, Chicago blues, Tom Waits-style vocal gravellyness and an overriding sense of immediacy -- plus a track called "Till You Know Who You Are" that was knocked out by Tremulis, Alejandro Escovedo and Ivan Neville in about 90 minutes." -  Chicago Sun Times



"The band's wealth of experience permeates the bubbling roots-rock stew on Nicholas Tremulis' new CD, "Napoleon" (Texas Music Group), a tastily flavored, slightly Tom Waits-ish mélange of plaintive C&W, New Orleans street jazz and Dixie soul-funk." – Chicago Tribune




"Nick Tremulis'  latest album, "Napoleon" (Texas Music Group), is a showcase for his versatile Americana skills."  -The Daily Herald



"With some talk of rock dying out due to it's own lack of inventiveness, maybe the powers that be oughta give the Nicholas Tremulis Orchestra a listen." ­– All Music


From The Waltz


"Nicholas Tremulis is a credit to his race, although we're not sure what that is"

Jeff Tweedy/Wilco



"The level of musicianship goes up a few notches when one has the pleasure of performing with Nick Tremulis and musicians of this caliber." – Bun E. Carlos/Cheap Trick


Reviews of Por Vida, Tribute CD benefiting Alejandro Escovedo


"Nicholas Tremulis' thoughtful upstroke on "Velvet Guitar" reveals the mortality underlying the Escovedo rocker. "  - Austin Chronicle


"Alt-country regulars dish out heartache, but the most interesting tracks come from less-expected quarters…the Nicholas Tremulis Orchestra miraculously combines calypso and Tex-Mex on "Velvet Guitar." – Blender Magazine


"The Nicholas Tremulis Orchestra's ..Velvet Guitar'' underscores Escovedo's passion for music…the singer muses, ....My hands are turning numb, but I still gotta strum my velvet guitar'' -- an eerie harbinger of ....Break This Time,'' a chugging rocker performed by Escovedo himself. – Washington Post


"The best make-over comes via the Nicholas Tremulis Orchestra, which warps "Velvet Guitar" to conjure a Texas barbecue as transported to a Jamaican dub studio." - The New Jersey Star-Ledger
