She will have you singing her praises long after the show is over." - The Village Voice; "Stunning!" - New York Magazine; "The sultry vocals of Our Lady J are a regular presence on the New York City and London underground music scenes. From beautifully arranged covers of songs by Dolly Parton, Nine Inch Nails, and Alanis Morissette, to stellar, sometimes haunting, self-composed works, the sensation is truly genre-bending." - Joseph Hassan, OUT.com; "The divine Our Lady J fills the theatre with such dizzying talent, it's as if the space can barely contain her. Many of the pieces are her own compositions: they're tales of love and survival, and, suffice to say, they are entirely bereft of religious dogma. It's a captivating hour, with musical moods that range from soaring to timid, playful to melancholy, emanating from her candle-lit piano. All that, plus she's likable and witty between sets, and not adverse to getting bold and explicit with her lyrics. A lady who really is the hostess with the mostest." - Metro UK
