Music
The best kept secret in music
Press
If you want to let music do what it's supposed to do (fill your heart and soul and make you glad to be alive) you must go see Cecilia." - Eric Brace, Washington Post
"I was blown away by Cecilia every time I saw them. Their energy, their presence, their harmonies, and man, their SONGS! No matter who they played in front of, they could capture a crowd and hold them in. It's rare to book opening bands that people pay attention to, much less get excited by. I just wanna keep booking them."
- Jake Szufnarowski, Wetlands Preserve NYC
"The group's intoxicating sound, a combination of richly arranged pop songs indebted to classic Top 40, a `90's jam band ethos, and the female harmony lineage quickly drew regional attention. Coupled with an energetic, often rapturous live show, the group effortlessly established itself as a lively club draw."
- John Duffy, AllMusic.com
