The band have supported major Irish trad acts like Dervish, Kila, and Frankie Gavin and The New De Dannan. Solas member and leading trad fiddle player Winifred Horan called Moxie’s music “soulful, sexy and full of passion” who play Irish trad “with many beautiful twists and turns...stunning harmonies and class playing from top to bottom”.Lunasa's Kevin Crawford has called Planted "a stunning debut from five of the best musicians on the scene today; the fact that they are so young is both frightening and inspirational too...Their sound is sophisticated, slick and adventurous yet exciting, full of fun and overflowing with fresh ideas. Moxie's unique approach is both melodically and rhythmically addictive; surprises lurk around every corner."
