“If you’re a fan of Lucinda Williams/ Caitlin Cary/
Roseanne Cash then give this girl a whirl and wonder
why you haven’t heard of her before… [Songs for
Bright Street]’s got the lot - lots of sad country
twang, a dollop of folk and just a smidge of pop… In
short, it’s full of melodic treats that will make your
heart ache.” - Lonesome Music
