About Me

OH, RESPONSES...

"delicate and nuanced... [Porter's] songs discard traditional song structure, forgoing the classic verse-chorus-verse-bridge-chorus structure, with her piano parts coming close to matching the intricate movements penned by Tori Amos."
~ NEW HAVEN REGISTER
"Porter's sensual voice and hypnotic piano combine for music that is not just heard, but absorbed and felt along with her."
~ Brian Smith, WICC 600 & BrianSmithRadio.com
"Porter is a first-rate songwriter/storyteller who accompanies herself beautifully on piano. She might be called a diamond in the rough if she didn't already shine so brightly."
~ Phil Ciganer, THE TOWNE CRIER (Pawling, NY)
"...almost not songwriting, but putting poetry to music."
~ Jerry Lieber, lyricist for Lieber and Stoller
"A playful, charismatic singer/songwriter with a clarion voice and a flair for words."
~ WEARELISTENING.ORG
