QUOTES FOR LARGE BIRD LEAVING
**** “Yet another distinctive and talented Canadian ready to be discovered...she deftly weaves threads of country, folk, bluegrass and roots music into a rich and compelling tapestry...there’s a real depth to this woman’s writing. A captivating and impeccably produced album that has you immediately reaching for the repeat button”.
Alan Caskett Maverick Magazine, UK
“Brewster has a sweet voice of positivity that lends itself well to the self-penned tracks of life, love, time and discovery. Musically, the recording is solid to the core with some very nice inflections that please the ear and never succumb to excess” .
Chris Martin, Pengiun Eggs
“it’s obvious that for Brewster to write lyrics and to sing is an essential element of life, like breathing. Brewster’s music bursts to life like the first pasque flowers of spring thrusting through the last remnants of winter snow… Like a child’s laugh, or a songbird’s serenade, Large Bird Leaving is a joy to listen to”.
Lynn Martel Rocky Mountain Outlook
“If I could have written a song, this would be it! Thank you for this rare and
beautiful compliment. I very much enjoyed the whole CD too.
Susan Swan, Canadian author
“Flying over land that feels both recognizably Canadian and new and unfamiliar, the CD reflects the whimsical and layered imagination of an eclectic and mature songwriter. Large Bird Leaving meditates on both beauty in a dark country and its underside, the darkness lurking in beauty.”
Katherine Binhammer, Three Sisters News
