“It reminds me very much of the likes of Shaun Colvin
or even Mary Chapin Carpenter (both of whom I love). The musicianship is top-drawer, great melodies, engaging and emotional
lyrics. There's little more to say except if there is any justice in the world the band would be well known" Rich Wilson ~ UK based freelance rock writer
for publications like Classic Rock Magazine
“From the moment I put “Here
I am” on, I was taken on a journey…. All the emotional elements were revealed…Cassandra’s
powerful, versatile vocals were inspiring. The first song touched me when the chorus came on. Wow! It’s really exciting
listening to this CD. Cassandra’s vocals, lyrics songwriting and the production are all right there. Each song a story,
a bit of her life in each verse. Peter Calo ~ New
York Guitarist, Composer, Producer, best known for his work with Carly Simon
"Cassandra and the Gravel Road Band were awesome! Their music was fantastic, they interacted with the audience
and put on a great show. Probably the best thing about the band though was they were so easy to work with and were so down
to earth. I can't wait to bring them back next year!" Streetfest July 9, 2011, Champaign, IL -Tony Oligney-Estill,
Special Events Manager-Champaign Park District
“To
the Editor: My husband and I had the pleasure of visiting Odd Fellows on the Square in Woodstock recently for a backroom concert
showcasing Cassandra and the Gravel Road Band. Having earlier performance times is a tremendous way to capture a group of
music lovers that finds it a challenge to start their evening at 9 or 10 o’clock when bands usually play. Our years
of staying up until 1 or 2 in the morning are few. I think it’s groundbreaking to offer entertainment earlier in the
evening for a whole generation of baby boomers who still love to go out. My husband and I brought three other couples with
us, and we all talked about what a great idea this was. Way to go, Odd Fellows and Cassandra and the Gravel Road Band, for
giving us back something wonderful. Kelly and Mike Donovan Woodstock” —
Kelly Donovan, Northwest

"Finally
had a little quiet time to listen to the new CD and it is absolutely exquisite! Everything about it - from the songwriting to the performance, the
arrangements, the recording - all REALLY amazing." Tricia-Fan
"I wish you every success in every sense
of the word. Your music is a gift for the world... I hope as many get to hear it as possible. Your "Celebrate Anyway"
song is out of this world. This CD is really, really incredible. What
a talent!" Mary-Fan "I love the whole CD - the first song
is especially meaningful - Here I Am --- says it all !" Jack-Fan
