Epiphany Project A genre blurring collaboration that combines everything from avant-garde folk and Americana to classical art song and art pop to jazz... very evocative and Williams has a wonderful voice. Very powerful. —WASHINGTON POST A starkly beautiful meeting of Hodian's lone, searching piano and Williams' stunning four-octave range voice. —PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER Some of the most evocative and intelligent music to come down the pike in a long time. —NPR Williams has been rightly compared to Loreena McKinnitt and Tori Amos for both the sheer beauty of her instrument and the passion with which she sings. —SING OUT! Magazine I'm blown away by the CD. This kind of music will easily appeal to fans of Joni Mitchell, Tori Amos and even Betty Carter, because of Bet's considerable four-octave range voice. Some of it evokes ancient chant and some of it is utterly reminiscent of contemporary composers like Steve Reich and Phillip Glass. There's also some world beat textures, but it's all held together by its beauty... its sheer beauty." —Seth Rogovoy, WAMC Rare is the musical work that touches the listener so deeply that it's felt to the marrow. Such is the craft of impassioned pianist John Hodian and golden vocalist Bet Williams of Epiphany Project. —WOODSTOCK TIMES It may not be jazz, but the spirit is there. These aren't pop tunes, but free-flowing compositions with careful instrumentation... we were impressed by Williams' ethereal vocals. —JAZZIZ Magazine Well written songs set and sung in ways that the average singer/songwriter only dreams of. —CITY PAPER, Philadephia Fans of Natalie Merchant and Tori Amos will glory in the arty pop scored by vocalist Bet Williams and her keyboard/composing partner, John Hodian... a class act. — PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS Williams' hands dance in instinctive spiritual choreography as she sings lyrics vivid enough to be little plays yet with a poetic mystery that leaves us wanting more of each song's world. —NEWS OF DELAWARE COUNTY Their music will make your hair stand on end. —Sharon Nichols, Ecto Guide The songs are loaded with nuance and artful subtlety that makes you want to listen again and again, to catch every note. Lyrics, likewise, are poetic and evocative and Williams' voice draws them out in a way that keeps you hanging on every word. The combined effect is rich, subtle, haunting, lush, and very powerful. —Daily Freeman "With the improv piano of Emmy Award-winning film score composer, John Hodian... the work of this duo is a musical marriage that blends traces of Clannad's mystic airs, Tori Amos' lovliest emanations... and, inexplicably there's even a bit of Kate Bush..." —ALMANAC
