"One of the best performers on the scene"
LOBBY BAR PRESS, CORK, IRELAND
"A deep, old presence that reminds me of Leadbelly...more dynamics and power than some entire bands of talented musicians"
“The young lady is splendid! She gets you to sing along in call & response and when that happens, the music is healing you. So, she’s a healer too, just in case you didn’t notice!”

"Being part of a Laurianne Fiorentino performance is to be gently guided from the everyday to a plane of beauty and understanding that presents to us the possibilities of the psycho-spiritual worlds
we all seek with our beings."
SEAN LA ROCHE
"An artist unafraid to follow her instincts"
DIRTY LINEN ROOTS & WORLD MUSIC MAGAZINE
"Fiorentino has an un-orthodox voice that can go from a growl to a wail to a whisper. Her songs feature stunningly origianl lyrics, complex rhythms, honesty, and (surprisingly!) hilarity -
almost all at once."
