“Mosher is a sterling example of the influence of Tom Petty on the entire Americana scene. Mosher’s voice is so smoky and strong that it’s perfectly suited to Petty’s musical style, while her stage presence reminds us of a younger Emmylou Harris. The overall sound of the band is head and shoulders over their peers.” ~ LA Music Critic, Bob Leggett
“Beautiful, compelling melodies with poignant lyrics sung with a sensual, sultry authority… This is good, this is now.” -Paul Zollo, American Songwriter Magazine
