‘Hear My Cries’ came together very quickly — always a good sign! It’s already become a favourite in our live set with its distinctive New Orleans flavour and also perhaps a hint of Madeleine Payroux too. The track also features a wonderful male vocal by guest singer Craig Alexander.

“A different level of class. Zoe's vocal: powerful yet vulnerable. Rob, Pete and Paul turned out a masterclass in Schofield-esque sophistication” - Blues in Britain Magazine

“A great band. Terrific musicians all four of them" - BBC Radio 2

“This is a band of exceptional quality, fronted by the stellar vocals of Zoe Schwarz; you really shouldn't miss the opportunity to enjoy them” - Live Review, Arlington Arts Centre, Newbury Times

“A masterclass in blues storytelling... a relaxed but compelling performance… Zoe’s voice moved effortlessly from intimate whisper to… full-bodied blues powerhouse. Rob’s guitar work was anything but predictable, weaving sinuous, expressive lines that took familiar songs in unexpected directions.” - Live review, Harborough blues, Blues in Britain magazine

"Schwarz takes all that is good from Janis Joplin and Billie Holiday and makes it uniquely her own… together they create an edgy intimacy and bittersweet melancholy all delivered with an expert flair while still possessing the wild hair necessary for true authenticity." – C.M. Bailey, All About Jazz USA
