Press Reviews "...commands your attention...intense, emotive, hypnotic vocal performances which instantly elevates them above so many other bands in this genre... a multi-textured, musical canvas she skillfully uses to paint dazzling stories with pure emotion and clever lyrics as her tools... With lyrics like that it was very easy to maintain my concentration on the creative and musical potency of this band." Muse's Muse =========================================================================================== "beautiful, dark-haired vocalist...She's got a nice set of pipes" "serves up blues based guitar rock in the style of Stevie Ray Vaughn, and the rhythm section adds a nice funk groove" "jazz-flavored blues rock in the adult contemporary vein" and Who's To Blame" is a song I wanted to hear over and over again." StarPolish.com *************************************************************** "Lots of diverse music influences without closely resembling anyone, this could possibly be described as alt pop with progressive rock and jazz overtones, but even that doesn't do it. An American band who richly deserves to be heard beyond their home state" www.crossrhythms.com (London) *************************************************** "this is rock-n-roll...full of the angst and fury that propelled bands to the top of the heap" ::: "NanyaNa instantaneously brings to mind the power of Mothers Finest. . . that brought to bear the finesse of pop, the power of rock-n-blues and the drive of funk..." ::: "the best thing I have heard from the south in a long time."::: www.Gods Of Music.com ::: "has molded a blend of jazz, funk, and rock with a style and fluidity that is seldom seen in an unsigned act." www.AtlantaShows.com
