       Quotes & Articles...

"Sometimes it's easy to overlook talent right under your nose. Take Amy Gallatin, the transplanted Westerner who brings a truth and a yearning to her voice that translates into real country traditionalism."
~Roger Catlin, Hartford Courant

"In times of expensive light shows and over-produced videos...Amy has tried to recapture the roots, to return to the simple yet endearing sounds of traditional country music."
~Hartford Courant

"To only listen to a recording of Amy is not enough, in person she radiates a friendliness that sets her apart from most other performers and enables her to really connect with her audiences."
~Bill Domler: host "FM on Toast" WWUH Radio, W. Hartford, CT

"Amy's voice is a cross between Emmylou Harris & Nanci Griffith: her songs are filled with images of tender emotions and the rugged West."
~Ed McKeon: journalist, film documentary director/producer, music reviewer

"Three short phrases: Clear true singing, clean sweet playing, great song choices...what more could we ask?"
~Susan Forbes Hansen: host/producer NPR's "Valley Folk" - WFCR, Amherst, MA


FOLKFARE "Those frequenting folk and bluegrass festivals across New England have most likely encountered Amy Gallatin and her band Stillwaters. Their mix of folk, western swing, bluegrass and country sounds has made them popular with festival directors who have an ear for tight musicianship and a desire to add an eclectic musical unit to the line-up of usual suspects."

BLUEGRASS UNLIMITED MAGAZINE  "Amy has a strong voice with an admirable range and heartfelt delivery...she chooses top-flight material."

The Hartford Courant "Today's big-name country artists have expensive light shows and fancy videos to play up their brand of country. While these new groups have helped make country music more 'mainstream,' they have also lost something in the process. Amy Gallatin has tried to recapture the roots of country...to return to the simple yet endearing sounds of traditional country music. Glastonbury Apple Harvest Festival coordinator Tracy Weiss says, 'People just love her. I wouldn't consider not having her!' "

THE MERIDEN RECORD-JOURNAL "People can understand the stories that she's singing about...she's fortunate enough to have friends out West who write good stories...not just the cowboy things, but (about) life in the Rockies.. Gallatin has a strong easy voice that floats gently atop Kevin Lynch's delicate mandolin and guitar lines and Matt Nozzolio's crying Dobro."

THE DANBURY NEWS -TIMES "You don't have to go far to hear what passes for country these days. In the post-Garth era...you almost forget what the real McCoy sounded like before the Dobro crossed over to mainstream...Gallatin's voice covers a broad range and is well supported on either end."
