“I was transfixed. The warm harmonies and silky melodies of Ashley Riley and Sarah Bonsignore evoke the kind of 1960s-era folk tunes that reverberated through dark, wood-panelled bars in the Village… Combining their haunting, otherworldly vocals with Ashley’s earthen guitar playing and Sarah’s exquisite keyboards, embellished with the tasteful addition of electric guitar, drums, percussion and strings, their acoustic vibe would be equally at home in a hip West Coast coffee shop, a music festival, or a suit-and-tie concert hall… With overwhelmingly pretty tunes that illustrate topics like love, togetherness, and shared humanity with realism and without clichés, the Magnolia Janes have created an impressive debut.”
