Theresa Demarest & Good Company

"Rising On Up - Theresa Demarest's lightly guitar-picked songs lull you briefly, only to pull you back with high notes and her piquant voice. Her vocals embody the space between the comfprt of a living space and outdoor openness - her lyricism and delivery can make the personal feel universal" - A&E Staff

" ...Theresa Demarest is a singer songwriter with a bluesy-folksy-jazzy voice that picks up the high and low notes of each of her experiences and reproduces them with perfect clarity - like a really great sound system" - Janine Robben

"As a songwriter, Theresa Demarst demonstrates her ability to spin a tale - behind which she masterfully creates a mood and a presence that, can alternately send shivers down your spine or make you tap your feet" - Lorraine Foote, Staff A&E writer

"This singer songwriter semms to have tamed a savage beast with the power of music" - Jim Minge, A & E

" her sumptuous voice is tinged with a country yodel and supported by tender guitar chords and keyboards that range form airy to energetic.... and makes for an enjoyable sound that leaves the listener wanting for nothing" - Melanie McFarland, A&E staff

"Award-winning songwriter Theresa Demarest appears at a dozen festivals every year as well as touring. she has developed specialty shows like "Keiko's Dream" (Live in Concert with The Free Willy Keiko Foundation)CD and tour that garnered a great deal of press. She mixes folk, R&B, Rock, and touches of Jazz with her distinctive clear vocals. Demarest surrounds herself here and often in person with top flight musicians like early jazz and contemporary pianist Janice Scroggins, vocalist Linda Hornbuckle, and guitarist Tim Ellis to name a few. The title tune soars, while "What Took You So Long" is a questioning quiet love song. You will get jazzed in the loping "I'm Flyin'" or the walking bluesy "Don't You Worry", or the ballad "Reasons". Wonderful Mix of musical styles presented in class style. - Chris Lunn
