“She’s gentle, strong, poignant; her own story will move you — so will her music.”
“[and] then there is the matter of her Voice. The sounds coming from the (recording) booth on this summer night – ghostly …pitch perfect, tough and fragile at once – boggle.”
“Ward pens tunes that are so damn hummable you’ll find yourself whistling the choruses while standing in line at Publix.”
“One of the most compelling live performers in Florida today. Period.”
