According to its website, the Kilborn Alley Blues band "does gritty Chicago blues and southern fried soul for all the generations of blues lovers."

Reviews of the band:

"The trade-off between Asselin's harmonicas (blown into a green bullet microphone, through a Fender Champ amplifier), and Andrew's voice, raise the band's performance to stellar heights." -Kankakee Sunday Journal, 2004

"Kilborn Alley has created a unique spin on classic Chicago-style blues and used it to bring a sense of excitement and enthusiasm to a type of music not usually supported by [college students] in the region. Citing influences such as... B.B. King, Junior Wells and Buddy Guy, they have carved out a niche in an area traditionally reserved for indie rock." -Buzz, 2003
