Reviews of 'Roadmap Heart'
Heaven Netherlands 2009 FOUR STARS
'Her songs are beautiful and personal tales that reach right into the heart of the listener, like the Dylanesk 'Amsterdam Rain' that was written in the Netherlands. She has a magnificent voice that reminds of Shawn Colvin and Eliza Gilkyson'
Maverick Magazine - UK 2009 FOUR STARS
"Heartfelt and honest, a roots based and lyrically strong second album. Amsterdam Rain is a pure lyrical delight. A record that grows and grows in stature with each hearing".
Roots Highway - Italy 2009
"An amazing folksinger, destined to grow, capable of instilling impressions so rare, speaking of solitude, lost lovers, the passing of time, with an aura of poetry".
