“Eliane Amherd was the highlight of the event. Obviously this band stood out on a different level.” -Yangon Calling, Myanmar “Amherd is not only an exceptionally good singer but she is also an accomplished songwriter and guitarist.” -Jazz Times “Amherd’s music is fun, funky, sassy and cool and deserving of much wider recognition. A mix of soul and funk, aided and abetted by some Latin and Afro beats. At times both Curtis Mayfield and Gil Scott-Heron spring to mind.” -All About Jazz “She now is simply sensational and all over the music scene with absolute control over the directions she chooses to take. She simply has it!” -Amazon “Eliane Amherd is the sort of performer that we’ll be hearing a lot more from if there’s any justice in the world.” -Jazz Blues & the truth
