"Erin McDermott and her songs are one in the same. They're both honest, engaging, and immediately likable." — Bryan Sutton

"Erin McDermott writes short stories in song about small town life in Vermont. Her characters come alive in the songs and you get to know these real people by the time the second chorus comes around. With a voice as strong and as uniquely expressive as her lyrics, Erin is a songwriter to watch in the coming years.”— Tim O'Brien

“When I put this record in my player, Erin had my attention from the beginning. Her sweet vocal tone, and engaging lyrics are a pleasure to listen to. The lush sounds, and the spirit of freedom you get from “Time To Go” make this record stay fresh top to bottom. Not to mention the fantastic musicians! Songs like these don’t come around all the time, so sat back and enjoy!” — Andy Hall (The Infamous Stringdusters)

Take a cup each of Tracy Chapman, Joan Armatrading and Macy Gray, put them in a pot, allow them to simmer for any amount of time, sprinkle on a little Sade and it will yield Erin McDermott, a deliciously new "sista voice", a new and rising star —Odessa and Settles Connection.
