"A born singer"

"Her music holds the thoughtfulness of a Tish Hinajosa and the depth of a Patty Larkin."
-- Rona Edwards, FAME

-- New Times, Kansas City

-- Pasadena Weekly

"..touching lyrics and understated melodies are delivered with poise and grace."

"The owner of one of folk music's most lovely sopranos, this tender-voiced balladeer reminds one of Judy Collins at an incipient part of her career."
-- Dan Gewertz, North Shore Weeklies, Ipswitch, MA
