"Thanks so much for sending us Stephanie Bettman's wonderful album. It's way too good to simply be labelled a debut set.... How can such a classy performer go wrong with quality moments channelling Emmylou? My album of the week... without question." - Eddie O?Strange, Town & Country, Lower Hutt, New Zealand
"Stephanie Bettman's album 'Get Close to Me' figuratively knocked my socks off. Clarity of voice (there's a bit of Joan Baez there! I said to myself), superior backing musicians and overall a spirit that's too rare in debut albums. This album will spend a long time in the top level of my playlists." - Steve Clarke, Erin Radio, Erin, Ontario
"...she has mastered that bluegrass art of pairing a dark lyric with a powerful upbeat melody....(Stephanie Bettman) is an artist to watch" - Kerry Dexter, Blogger News Network
"...A phenomenal singer/ songwriter/ fiddler... and artist of great promise destined for huge success." - GRAMMY winner Richard Greene.
"Wonderful songs that can all become standards... these things belong on the Americana Charts." - Radio Host Larry Wines KCSN.

REVIEWS
Our first review is in! Check it out at the press page! "...impressive versatility...a dulcet voice, pure and clear...ala Joan Baez...a hint of Patsy Cline."
Our second review is in! Check it out at Country Jukebox Magazine! Oh wait - it's in German. Read the whole translation on the press page. ..."That Stephanie Bettman has reached a level comparable with others like Emmylou Harris, Joan Baez, and Alison Krauss so quickly is a bit uncanny."
AND we got another great review by Kerry Dexter, a writer for DIRTY LINEN MAGAZINE and BLOGGER NEWS NETWORK. You can read it here: http://www.bloggernews.net/117953
