“pure talent... timeless music...soul-baring lyrics and goosebump-inducing vibrato... depth and hard-won authenticity...” "Richard and I had such a wonderful night seeing you perform your beautiful magic on your mesmerized audience. From the minute you began singing, you captured my heart and held me spellbound. I loved the songs, the sound, your voice, and esp. the lyrics! I fell immediately in love with the passion and importance and beauty of the words you wrote. And you have such an easy and relaxed presence on stage and seemed to be having so much fun with your partner, Baker Lee. He is just fabulous on the guitar and your chemistry and sound together is really exciting to watch." Sandi Schapiro New York New York |
