Reviews:
'Music Connection Magazine:'
Material: If you combine the songwriting skills of Laura Nyro, the gutsy earthiness of Janis Joplin, and the cool, bohemian style of Rickie Lee Jones, you’ll have some idea of Jackie Tohn. And, though some may think those references are dated, you have to go back that far to find artistry this good. Even when covering Mich-ael Jackson’s “Beat It,” or singing a ditty about a tittie-bar, this artist is innovative. One song about a breakup, which includes the entire dialog verbatim, is sheer genius. Smart, insightful, and in your face, Tohn’s acoustic rock material is utterly compelling.
Musicianship: Tohn’s command of her guitar is striking, and is as expressive as her voice. From low, guttural murmurings to sweet purrs, Tohn’s vocals are some of the most enchanting you’re likely to hear. She is a dramatic vocalist, but not too much so. She adds just enough passion in her voice (and playing) so that her listeners can absorb the feelings behind her songs.
Performance: This artist totally captivated the crowd. In fact, she got the audience to participate in, not one, but two, sing-a-longs. When she dedicated a song to her dad, her between-song banter was just as effective, and generated a love that consumed the room. By the end of her set, the audience was so enraptured that Tohn re- ceived a standing ovation that lasted well over a minute.
Summary: This young artist is a star in the making. Jackie Tohn has a special gift and there are not many like her. So, while she’s still paying her dues, try to catch her when you can. If you wait too long, it may very well cost you much more.
'Improper Magazine':
On Stage, Jackie Tohn Goes, and Goes...If Jackie lived on a park bench, she would put on shows for the pigeons. She cant help it. Some people believe there is no such thing as a natural, but Tohn is wired to entertain. On stage, shes a cross between Bette Midler (only better looking) and Lauryn Hill.
