What Our Clients Think Of Us | Home
This is what reviewers have been saying about Michelle Dedman:
"(She) handles blues, folk and jazz standards so well that you
wonder why she isn't a household name." "With her rich, protean voice, she easily meanders from seductive croons to jaunty ditties to blues so lonely you want to curl
up on your sofa listening to the rain outside..."
- Janet I-Chin Tu/Seattle Times
"I list her
among the great women singers of the decade. Her clear voice glides
freely through the octaves, enriched by vibrato only when it is
congruent with the expression of the phrase and lyrics. This is singing!
This is innocently sensuous, totally convincing singing.
Up a Lazy River, some blues, Begin the Beguine, Brother Can you Spare
a Dime, Saturday Night Fish Fry (which inspired dancing so hot it made us
grin)...You could be paying $50 per person in the Kingdome or the Opera
House to hear a voice this great..."
- Sandy Bradley/The Seattle Press
"This jazz-bluesy singer is our hidden gem with a touch of Billie
Holliday. . .as she strolls, walks,
and bends her way. Her diction is clear and snappy. . .it's bluesy, lonely, low, having a curling grip on the tears of your soul. Best jazz vocal discovery in
years out of the Northwest. Most highly recommended."
- Chris Lunn/Victory Review

Listen to a RealAudio sample:
(If you don't have it already, you can download the free RealAudio Player. The RealAudio format is very effective at compression, however the audio quality is low -- the sound is
rather tinny, like an old pocket transistor radio. This is not a flaw of the recordings or of the artists).
