Press Reviews "Powell's skills on violin and viola -- she started playing as a 5-year-old -- lend an imaginative air to avant/pop songs she describes as "renaissance rock n roll" Blending her background in literature, dance, theatre and classical music with the 60's rock and folk she grew up listening to, her mix of edge rockers and melodic ballads ranges from idyllic reveris to acerbic insights and pure fun." -- Tony Sauro, Stockton Record
