CVNC Online Arts Journal Barry Salwen remarked of the Port City All Stars; “El Jaye graced the stage at the Cameron Art Museum in Wilmington, NC, along with five seasoned musicians… Cleverly titled ’The Rhythm is Gonna Get Ya!’ El Jaye Johnson and the Port City All Stars painted a musical ‘picturescape of rhythm and melody,’ which utilized a palette of Caribbean, Latin, Jazz, Reggae, Funk and R&B. One would either be tone deaf or lifeless to not experience toe-tapping and hand clapping karma emitting from the stage.
