"PRX review"

"Hearing a young, fresh talented voice is an exciting thing. You can tell when someone's got something going on and Kierstin Gray does. She's got a Stevie Wonder way with rhythm, a Tracy Chapman way with words and playing chops to spare. Real talent." - Sydney Lewis, Atlantic Public Media


"Indie Round-Up"

"...Gray does have a deep, warm soulfulness. It's evident in her live performance. On stage, backed by her excllent drummer and bassist, she reminds one a little of bonnie raitt (vocally), Tracy Chapman (the vibe), eventhe Doobie Borthers (the satiny grooves). The band's fusion of folk and funk, built around Gray's rock solid acoustic guitar work, has both restrained fire and suave panache." - Jon Sobel


"Global Entertainment & Media Summit"

"Kierstin Gray is one artist who not only has the talent and style and intestinal fortitude to sustain her career in this ever changing marketplace, but she is a living breathing example of a true artists who is not afraid to jump off a mountain without wings knowing she can fly. As the Executive Producer of a leading entertainment industry event, I am privileged to see her grow as an artist and as a human being. This is an artist who is going places." - Steve Zuckerman, President

Very few singer-songwriters can deliver a performance that not only pulls you into the show from the start, but leaves you saying "wow" and wanting more when its over. Kierstin Gray did just that this past Saturday night at the world famous Laugh Factory in New York City. Exuding grace and presence, Kierstin captivated the crowd at a party for legendary music PR man Howard Bloom with a jaw-dropping performance at the Global Entertainment and Media Summit. - Earvolution.com
