"Dhruva Delivers on Tessitura"

"Tessitura is filled with different sounds, and as promised by the title, different textures. From folk to blues to gospel, dhruva's well-traveled alto and fine original songs offers something different to the listener." Dominion Post, Morgantown WV. - Dominion Post


"Jammer Without a Band"

"A well-crafted hodgepodge of folk, country and rock'n'roll which commands one's attention and encourages the listener to think and delve deeper into the artist's realm. The jazzy and sensual 'Body Heat' proves itself as a timely and strong example of the artist's versatility." Waynesburg College Yellow Jacket, Waynesburg PA.
- Waynesburg College Yellow Jacket


"Jammer Without a Band"

"Conversational, comforting vocals and equally comfortable songs. Some of her most appealing compositions, including the title cut, the pretty 'Being With You' and the wistful 'Behind Closed Doors.' A fine collection." Graffiti Entertainment Guide, Charleston WV.

"How Dhruva Got Her Groove Back"

"With a vocal inflection in her music, reminiscent of Patsy Cline, Peggy Lee and early Rosemary Clooney, Dhruva's singing voice is pure alto but smooth. The music she writes is nothing unless it has bubbled up from the gut, pushed way beyond the heart and landed somewhere on the tongue." Allegany Magazine

Tessitura
http://www.cdbaby.com/dhruva2

"It's earthy, it's a warm breeze, it's the cool rippling water of a swimming hole. It's a kiss, a caress, a squeeze of the hand, a rub on the chest, a long hug that includes beating hearts. It's a clean, refreshing piece of help for humans." Lary Bethany, Sabor Latino, St. Albans, Herts. England.

"The organic, timeless acoustic sounds of Tessitura are uplifting, grounding and healing on every level of listening. I hear it in the sweet melodies of dhruva's flute, in the many different soul soothing tones of her voice, in the rhythm of the drums of the heart. With Tessitura, dhruva' takes us on a journey through her life and back to our own hearts." Cherylann Hawk, Pittsburgh PA.

"Dhruva' is the Diva of bluesy folksy hip grooving good feeling songstering."
Gary Tannenbaum, Rosewood Theatre, Morgantown WV.

"Dhruva' is a true original with lyrics that are playful, romantic, sentimental and stirring delivered seamlessly in the vocal styling of Melissa Etheridge, Bette Midler and in part, Janis Joplin." Shane Riggs, Allegany Arts Council, Cumberland MD.
