Six by Gretchen Witt

And it’s this unique style that allows her to imbue what may have been otherwise cringe-inducing love songs such as “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.”

From Smother.net (www.smother.net):

“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 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 Astro Zombie (www.Astro-Zombie.com):

“Gretchen Witt is folk 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 EP. 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). “Say So” is a 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 Indie-Music.com (www.indie-music.com):

“No messy metaphors here. Her words are refreshingly straightforward. Damn, but it’s just an EP. I can’t wait to hear a full project from this versatile singer-songwriter.”

From Pucknation (www.pucknation.com):

“Witt, in addition to her vocals, contributes piano and acoustic guitar work that could EASILY stand on it's own, but is well enhanced by the crew she's assembled. They all compliment each other, while no one drowns out her greatest asset... the lyrics. Criminal, which at first I was expecting a cover of the Fiona Apple single, is by far my favorite song. Seriously, I was expecting another female singer/song writer to take a stab at the song, and instead, its an original song that blew me away. It's deep, thought provoking, and just a little guilt ridden. Thank God, because even as a cover-junkie, I didn't want another of that criminal. So, what's next? Well, hopefully a full-length and a major distributor knocking at her door.”

From Rikks Revues (www.rikksrevues.com):

“Gretchen Witt is sure to turn some heads with her debut recording, and gain some real fans along the way. This an EP to be on the search for.”

From Your Music Entertainment, YME (http://ymemusic.com):

“It was said that some notable critics were not even expecting to like her work during one of her shows, but they were pleasantly surprised and exclaimed that

‘another rare gem has made its way to New York City’. Witt maintains a simple approach to writing and creating music, letting all her emotions pour out and making the message heard, instead of manipulating other aspects.

This singer-songwriter is looking to take the world of music by storm. Her powerful, angelic voice is causing more and more heads to turn, and more ears to listen. Supporting new and inspiring artists is what makes the industry thrive and evolve, with artists like Gretchen Witt creating beautiful music and expressing universal emotions through her songs and words.”
