lanEn The bands are super tight and the sound is great. It sounds amazing. Vocals are warm and close and emotive and sexy!!! There is a real retro, 1970's, cool vibe going on. Velvet tuxedos and dry martini.
lanEn Lisa Fitzgibbon, Producer, Pro7ect Creative Director — United Kingdom
lanEn Even the title has a fun story. It's a playful mouthful for a reason. Bourque was once teased by her band mates for saying she had to "shuffle" her driveway. Her French-Canadien accent being the target of their mockery. She owns it though, and the Shovel Shuffle is a nostalgic warm hug to enjoy whilst putting on the gear and grabbing the shovel. Again.
lanEn Chris Vasseur, North Sask Music Zine
lanEn With tinkling piano, passionate vocals, and fiery flute, "The Shovel Shuffle" is a lighthearted and completely jazzy holiday jingle to get you ready for snow, snow, and more snow. (...) The chorus then roars in with "Hustle, hustle, get your shovel. Get your shovel it's a snow day." The accompanying music video pans back and forth between the band playing on a close, cozy stage and Marie-Véronique alone in a vast snowscape, shoveling away. The video is a fun way to watch the deft instrumentation of the band, and to get a few well-placed chuckles at the frustrations of shoveling winter's never-ending white stuff.

lanEn RDB — Radio Des Boutières — France
lanEn I loved your music and can't wait to hear your album. You play so smoothly, and I think you achieved your goal with this song. It has a nostalgic vibe, and the video is pretty good too. The middle break was unexpected for me, but it worked really well. Nice playing—I don’t know any other jazz flute soloists, so it was great to discover your work. Best of luck with the release, and thank you for sending me this track.
