"VICTORIA & ZETA FIVE. Victoria Hammill plays an electric fiddle as if jamming with Stevie Ray Vaughan and Robert Randolf — and as if trying to match the tone and freedom of both. Running her dramatically altered violin through a Mesa Boogie amp, she makes a mind-bendingly original bowed sound; if you weren't watching, you'd want to see how a guitarist was creating such wildly expressive solos. A geophysicist who has worked with wave-form propagation and microseismics, Hammill is not afraid of experimenting with the mechanics of her instrument and the sounds it can make." - Michael McCall

"... The Music City Blues Society's jam is held at the Boardwalk Cafe on Thursdays ... [There] you may catch the electric fiddle of Victoria Hammill. Victoria admits she can't play country but I've never heard anything like the wah-wah violin she produces for blues anywhere else! ... " - Deborah Douglas

"Victoria & Zeta 5 is the name of a new band built around the violin and vocal talents of Victoria Hammill. This is a lady who is, in my opinion, making sounds that have never been made before on her violin. A dynamic stylist on her instrument, she recalls the great blues-rock guitarists, such as Stevie Ray Vaughn." - Shannon Williford

Victoria has secrets! And she's not talking!

Victoria Hammill won't tell anyone how she gets her violin to sing, dance, whine, talk, and massage your soul.

Dang, if Victoria doesn't get connected to lightening every single time she touches bow to string.

You have to experience Victoria's violin. To miss out on this experience would be like missing Jimmy on guitar or Miles on trumpet. I know enough about language to know that you can only say "unique'' once. So let there be no confusion when I say, Victoria is a unique violinist. (Be sure to [listen to] Stevie Ray Vaughan's song "Say What!''; plus the original Zeta Five songs "It's A Lazy Morning Rain'' and "Wild Turkeys''.)

Victoria Hammill fronts a bluesy group called Victoria & Zeta Five. Victoria & Zeta Five play songs from a broad spectrum of genres, but they all tend to come out with a bluesy/jazzy interpretation.

Victoria & Zeta Five will be releasing their latest CD, "To Be Announced'', in April 2006. The CD can be purchased at the Zeta Five site <http://www.zetafive.com/merchandise.htm>, as well as from CD Baby. MP3's are already available from the Zeta Five site.

Most the songs on "To Be Announced'' are foot stompers. They're all tasty tunes that are finger-licking good! If these tunes were Southern fried chicken, you'd need extra napkins.

It's a difficult choice, but perhaps my favorite in the bunch is a cover of the Stevie Ray Vaughan song "Say What!''.

As with all good bands, Zeta Five is a team effort. Zeta Five doesn't quite have enough regular and guest players to man a football team, but they certainly could put together a B-ball squad. In addition to Victoria Hammill doing lead violin and lead vocals, they have EDward T Hammill, Victoria's husband, (rhythm guitar), John Raska (drums), William Scruggs (bass & backup vocals), and Markus Rodriguez (lead guitar). Guest players on the CD include Waldo Weathers (saxophone), Larry Van Loon (Hammond B3), Sue Birch (bass & backup vocals), Shannon "De Bayou'' Williford (harp), and James "Nick'' Nixon (rhythm guitar, lead vocal, backup vocals).

I'm sure Zeta Five could handle any song you might throw their way, and "To Be Announced'' shows the breadth of their range. And every song gets cooked with those secret Zeta Five Spices. They come out crisp and succulent, so bring those napkins.

Now Victoria won't give away her secrets, but I'll tell you something that's no bull: If you want a physical and emotional workout, put the Zeta Five CD "To Be Announced'' in your player. One second you'll be foot-stomping like an old granddaddy, the next you'll be crying like a baby, and that's no secret.

In a week or so, Victoria and the gang will be doing an audio Coffee with Tim. It will to be fun, so stay tuned!

Don't tell anyone, but when Zeta Five has their Coffee with Tim, I'll announce that I'm giving "To Be Announced'' a rating of 5 plus a ScramJet Violin. Hush, now. Don't tell Victoria! She can't be the only one with secrets.

If you're into hot rockin' electric violin blues and jazz and fusion, let's go! Victoria Hammill is a fiddler extraordinaire when it comes to her genre of music. Released on the independent Digimind Records label, the album features eleven eclectic cuts that keep your body groovin' to the sound. The girl's vocals aren't too bad either and are backed by some pretty cool musicians. Rating: 6 Stars
- Brad Fischer, Music City CD Corner

Have you ever heard an electric violin sound like an electric guitar? Better yet, a child whining? These are some of the amazing things Victoria makes her “fiddle ” sound like on the band ’s CD "To Be Announced". Victoria and the band do a great job of delivering some down home blues influenced/jazz inspired material. The band is composed of some brilliant musicians, but dare I say the things Victoria does with her violin are simply magnificent ... the music is phenomenally good, especially the 10:49 long Voodoo Child. I would love to hear an all-instrumental CD from V and ZF. - Xposed, 3 The Hard Way
