WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING...

"With a sound almost woven out of the earth, Reich sings from the brittle openings of the heart. To take in the art that comes from such a place opens up our lives in ways that are impossible to measure but so important to hold onto." - James Diaz, Anti-Heroin Chic Magazine.

"Martha Reich’s 'BRAVE BIRD' is Stunning and Heartbreaking. Pulsing, yet sparse instrumentation coupled with hypnotic verses of a quiet yearning spin into the call for something new and the hope that it promises..." - Jason Davidson of Americana Highways
