Gretchen Witt (Demo) by Gretchen Witt

Gretchen was spotlighted in the recent film "Idolette", a documentary profiling the lives of female singer/songwriters.

Reviewers have offered glowing feedback, including quips such as the following from Discovering Artists; "Whatever she does, she should keep on doing it. This is acoustic rock magic...is there anything this woman can't do musically? I doubt it." Another reviewer cites; "Witt's voice is her own and her style distinctly unique...neither formulaic nor contrived. It's worth catching her play at one of her favorite spots: this woman deserves a following," (Red is All the Rage).

WHAT OTHER FOLKS HAVE BEEN SAYING ABOUT GRETCHEN's MUSIC:

From Discovering Artists www.discoveringartists.com:

"Whatever she does, she should keep on doing it because this album is acoustic rock magic. Splashed with the thought-provoking lyrics that exude femininity and edge, catchy rhythms and a pure voice, Gretchen Witt has captured my attention. She's got the flair of Mindy Smith and Alison Krauss mixed with a little Catie Curtis and Jewel. "Smiling for Me" has some quaint piano mixed in with a dainty side, while she heats up with some acoustic rock riffs in "Criminal". Her jazzy track "Over and Done" left me bewildered because of the deep bass sounds and blues vibe. Is there anything this woman can't do musically? I doubt it. (Favorite Tracks: Criminal, So Called Bliss)."

From Melodic.net www.melodic.net:

"A soft voice and a beautiful and naked guitar is what meet the ear when you put on this 5 track EP with a new discovery for us here at Melodic.Net. And she is well worth your attention if you like Eva Cassidy with a little Linda Ronstadt-twist here and there (at her soft moments), The opening "So Called Bliss" is a nice appetizer and third out "Say So" is another favourite. That is such a soft and beautiful tune with Gretchen's spread voice; an acoustic guitar and a sweeping slide-guitar painting the landscape. Without a doubt the best moment on the E.P and this song is worth the dollars you have to spend on the album at CD BABY if you like the softer school of female singer songwriters."

From Smother.net www.smother.net:

"Gretchen Witt is here with her ambitious demo EP under her arm. Soft rock is the key ingredient in her recipe with a knack for writing a good catchy hook being her secret ingredient. Sure she may write a cooking book worth of great recipes like these five songs but what of her actual vocal ability? Well imagine a genetic blending of Tracy Chapman, Norah Jones, and perhaps Natalie Merchant and you've got Gretchen's crooning. New York City are you prepared?"

From Ear Candy http://earcandy_mag.tripod.com:

"Her voice is both angelic and powerful: this is top of the line."

From Red Is All the Rage www.redisalltherage.com:

"I was blown away with how impressive the album was. New York by way of Ohio singer-songwriter Gretchen Witt is skilled...melding elements of rock, folk, country, and even the blue into skillfully crafted pieces topped with mature and sultry vocals in the vein of country great Neko Case (minus the twang) or folk singer Dar Williams. Still, Witt's voice is her own and her style distinctly unique..neither formulaic nor contrived. And it's this unique style that allows her to imbue what may have been otherwise cringe-inducing love songs such as "So Called Bliss" and "Say So" with a real meaning that many aspiring singer-songwriters can only hope to accomplish. It's worth catching her play at one of her favorite spots to see for yourself. This woman deserves a following."
