Press Reviews "From keening East Indian wailing, through lush, late night smokey-club Jazz sax, to Salsa stylings, Keryn Moriyah lays out a colorful tapestry of woven sound..."Gospel" could only be applied to "Restless Wanderer" in the loosest of terms. Keryn likes to call her art, "Parable Music." Maybe she's onb to something. Listen to "Restless Wanderer" and these parables will take you on a journey. --M. Hurley, former music journalist for Campus News Philadelphia, New York, & Chicago.
