DANNY SCHMIDT
Named to the Chicago Tribune's list of the '50 Most Significant Songwriters in the Last 50 Years'.
'Better late than never, Elaine Lennon didn't get her start in music until after starting her family. But rather than set her back, it gives us the treat of experiencing an artist who's new to our ears, but whose writing is already maturely developed, like a well-steeped tea, rich in colour and full of flavour, and with one of those rare voices that just sounds effortless and organic.'
FINDLAY NAPIER
Award Winning Singer-Songwriter, Producer and Director of 'The Glasgow Songwriting Festival'
‘Elaine has mastered the knack of creating original beautifully crafted songs, branded with her own unique sound, while evoking the distinct sensation you have been listening to her music all of your life!’
NSAI
Nashville Songwriters Association International - staff evaluators
'...the subject matter is common but you found a new way of saying it...' (of 'Little Bird Little Sailor')
'...it’s very difficult to do what you did and make it sound effortless...' (of 'In Songs We Live On')
'...one of the strongest songs I've heard while evaluating. It has unique, beautiful language. And while the subject matter isn't new, it's presented in a strong, heart-breaking way that really moves me as a listener...' (of 'Only Love Can Break Your Heart')
KEVIN MORRIS
The Fallen Angels Club
