"...I was immediately taken with what I heard from her. She found sonic spaces within the songs that I didn't know existed and nestled right in, whether she was plucking out a bassline or using a bow to coax out a solo." - Michael Duck, The Morning Call

"Kristen Jones makes everything sound better!" - Michelle Citrin, singer-songwriter
