- Richard Kammins, Hartford Courant, Connecticut May 19th 2005

"Nora infuses her songs with passion, humor, and grace. Whether touching on the embittered fervor of a heated break-up, or highlighting the haunting turmoil of pitfalls of ambition, Nora speaks to her audience with candor and honesty, all the while peppering her stories with contagious laughter and thoughtful insights. And while you are listening to her brassy, soulful belt, you may suddenly realize that other people’s secrets may be your own as well."
