"Katrina Chester is a stunning Janis Joplin. She shakes the earth
off its axis with renditions of 'Summertime' and 'Ball & Chain' that
Janis herself would have a hard time topping. In fact, if you shut your
eyes, you would b hard pressed to not think you're sitting in front of the
real thing. Somehow, she is able to summon a demon inside her that draws
out emotions from the depths of her soul, spurring a performance that brings
tears to the eyes of many of the Janis fans who witness it."
--Aquarian
"Katrina is nothing short of spectacular. Janis fans of all ages jumped
to their feet with excitement as Katrina. Even the ones who were doubtful
anyone could ever emulate the true essence of Joplin remarked during the
intermission, she is truly amazing!"
--Inside Connection
"In addition to Katrina's gravelly vocals, which she projects with
a powerful intensity that falls somewhere between Janis Joplin and Steven
Tyler. Depending on the song, Katrina delivers with verve and a passion
that will leave you breathless."
--POWERPLAY
"Vocalist Katrina Chester was not only stunning to look at, but she
had the voice to match. Katrina still delivers the goods with her rough,
powerhouse style. Although lots of people have made comparisons to Janis
Joplin, at times her voice reminded me of Bonnie Tyler and even Marianne
Faithful."
--INSTANT Magazine
"Katrina Chester is the quintessential vocalist, there's really nothing
else she needs to do in this lifetime."
-- Unsung Hero Magazine
"Chester's raspy singing covers a range of emotions, from seductive
temptress on straightforward rocker to raging ex-girlfriend with the funk-metal
blast."
--The Worcester Phoenix
"Vocalist Katrina Chester delivers a smoky intensity that owes more
to the '70s metal/punk days of Pat Benatar and Patti Smith than '90s rockers
Courtney Love or the Breeders: her style is refreshingly retro and personal,
blended with bluesy soul and intellectualism. Plus, Chester is one hypnotic
hellcat of a singer onstage."
--Kalamazoo Express
"Katrina Chester' slightly raspy voice belted out some pretty sultry
and sexy lyrics that sounded like Janis Joplin, Melissa Etheridge, and Beth
Hart all rolled into one."
--Boston Soundcheck
"Chester has a lot to offer as a vocalist. She's a real "something
old, something new" type of singer. She is an emotionally charged ball
of fire on some songs, yet at other times lets her softer, seductive delivery
portray equally strong emotion Angry, yet alluring, Chester is one helluva
frontwoman."
--Ohio Press
"Chester has plenty of talent in her strong, passionate rock and roll
voice, replete with delicious raspiness and moody alto qualities... delivers
surprisingly-satisfying tunes..."
--Rhythm and News Magazine
"Katrina Chester's voice- Raspy and full of character, Chester has
a formidable stage presence wrapped in great leather pants."
