"REACH conjures up an image of a piano-playing Terri Hendrix, a Texas songwriter of considerable talent." - Jim Hoehn, Milwaukee Journal Sentinen Online
"Vicky Emerson's performance at our home concert was perfect! Friends and family sitting under a star filled sky mesmerized by her music will not be easily repeated. Two months later, we are still hearing how amazing the evening was."
- Bruce Weiland, House Concert Promoter, WI
"We can't think of a better way to spend an evening then to listen to an amazing artist surrounded by the company of friends. We first heard Vicky perform at a house party and were immediately struck by both her phenomenal musical talent and her dynamic personality. We had such a wonderful time that we wanted to share this experience with our friends by having a house party of our own. We did this and had a truly memorable evening. Vicky easily engages your senses and everyone fell in love with both her talent and her charismatic nature. She truly does have it all!
- Dr. Holly Grimslid, House Concert Hostess, LaCrosse, WI

("The Best Little Listening Room In Texas"--Texas Music Magazine)***************************
"Vicky Emerson's latest album release was greeted with eager anticipation and slight trepidation on our part. How does one follow up such a lyrically rich and vocally stunning work as "Reach"?? We shouldn't have worried. The self-titled release expertly showcases Vicky's vocal range and fantastic delivery. From my personal favorite of her style - the haunting tunes - to fun upbeat renditions, this release offers it all! You'll want to make room for another addition of Vicky Emerson to your album library for sure! A Texas-sized hats off to you Vicky for a job well done - and please, oh please, keep them coming!"Dawn Dale, KFAN-The Texas Rebel Radio Network******************
