"...stunning - if not plain sexy - jazz and rock sway. Her voice melts butter across the room with microwave ease, while vaguely evoking the best of Ani DiFranco or even Fiona Apple." --Stuart Gaines, Mountain XPress
"They're well-versed in the jazz language, but aren't afraid to dig deeper. The result is a charismatic live show with grace and attitude." --Laura Blackley, Songwriter & Performing Artist
"Asheville's Ruby Slippers is an infectious mix of sultry jazz, driving rock and roll, and allegiance to the groove."
--Asheville Citizen-Times
