“If you are at all connected digitally — e-mail, Facebook, Twitter, etc.— you know Dean Lofton.”
- Michael Barnes, Austin American-Statesman
” …During her short tenure in Austin, Lofton has extended her web of friends and contacts far and wide. Some of her social connecting promotes her husband, busy jazz trumpeter Jeff Lofton, or other musicians lucky enough to gain her ear. … It’s largely thanks to Jeff’s professionalism and Dean’s grassroots marketing skills that jazz has bumped up its Austin profile in the last year.” – Michael Barnes, Austin American-Statesman, Dean Lofton at Matt’s El Rancho
“An aside for his musical peers: Lofton’s site — jefflofton.com — is one of the cleanest, most informative Web presences I’ve ever seen for a local musician; his example is to be followed.” – Joe Gross, Music Critic, Austin American-Statesman
