"Outstanding Folk Artist of the Year"–Boston Music Awards

“The area’s next musical sensation” –Boston Magazine

“Miss Tess takes old music and makes it sound fresh. She also makes new music with a sense of history and context to it. No matter what label you want to put on it, it’s damn good music. Period.” –Matt Smith, Club Passim

“If Billie Holiday and Chet Atkins had a musical baby, it would be Miss Tess. With a calmness that belies the intensity in her music, Miss Tess will cement a place in your music- loving heart with her first note.” –Caroline Aiken, Singer/songwriter

“This is music cut from a different cloth than the cardboard-stiff newness of more trend driven singer-songwriters, and it’s appeal more closely resembles your favorite pair of jeans: the lovingly broken-in elegance that inspires confident ease.”–Jon Santiago, Charleston City Paper

“True to her grassroots style, Tess’s connection to the audience is incredibly personal, making it a better show than many by popular musicians” –Jenica Jones, Bootleg Magazine

“Miss Tess’ ‘Modern Vintage’ is just that: a fresh - and refreshing - take on classic themes from a bygone era." –Brendan Hogan, WGBH Radio
