“Engaging, cohesive and lyrical. Heidi Jane sounds right at home with her clear vocals, fluid phrasing and excellent arranging. Infectious rhythm guitars are reminiscent of the joyful side of Paul Simon’s catalog, with songs like “Me and Julio” immediately coming to mind. Definite singer/song-writer appeal with her well-written structure and memorable rhymes. All-around good music!”
- TAXI A&R review of “La Faranda”
“An absolutely joyous musical romp, with just the right hint of the Irish. The tunes on this fabulous album magically transform the foggy streets of San Francisco into a bright, sunny day!”
- National Public Radio Theme composer, BJ Leiderman
….“A beautiful, pure voice, with the fluidity of Joni Mitchell. Imagine early Liz Phair minus the swearing, merged with some Enya and you might be on the right track. Lovely harmonies and a solid drum beat work together with Heidi Jane’s beautiful violin fills and leads.”
“….Happy, hopeful, upbeat, illuminated and illuminating. Deep emotions expressed in simple words and rhymes. Each song comes with its own sunbeam included. Catchy and memorable, the lyrics not entirely squared off; they’re more like little stories or, as the French say, pensées. Heidi Jane manages to make the violin into a pop instrument with her flexible, energetic playing. Please, can I have some more?”

“….A pleasant way to ease into the week on a Monday morning. Her second album, but first where she sings. We wonder why she waited until now.”
“…Such a great, upbeat vibe. The songs and the stories just made me smile. And the fiddles! A GREAT work! “
- Notorious Liz Cousins, Notorious Radio
“….An original blend of Irish-accented, African and Latin rhythms…I hope she will continue to keep rocking that fabulous fiddle.”
- J. Turner, Indie-Music.com
“…Heidi Jane mixes elements of folk, Celtic, rock, pop and electronica into catchy aural creations, a unique blend of world music that I would expect to hear from a Putamaya release.”
