Press:
"Joe Smith & The Spicy Pickles are intent on bringing swing back to a new generation, and are doing a magnificent job of replicating not only the music, but the general atmosphere of the era as well." - James Nadal, All About Jazz
"While clearly belonging to the present, this music channels all of the energy and pure joie de vivre that the bands of old had." - Bud Kopman, All About Jazz
"The overriding sense you get from listening to Joe Smith and the Spicy Pickles’ High Fidelity is one of well being, a grin on your face and it is not music which warps the mind. In fact, it is probably the most wholesome thing I have heard in quite a little while." - Sammy Stein, Something Else Reviews

Testimonials
We knew from the moment we saw The Spicy Pickles perform a set at a festival that they had to play at our wedding—and they absolutely exceeded every expectation! Their fun, funky, swing-filled cocktail hour set the perfect tone for the evening. So many of our guests were blown away by the depth of talent in every single member of the band, the incredible solos, and the vocalist’s amazing range and energy. Joe and the band needed very little guidance from us, yet delivered an unforgettable performance that felt perfectly tailored to the moment. Having The Spicy Pickles at our wedding was one of the best decisions we made—they brought the magic!
