Rondi Charleston

“Utterly Delightful! She works her way into her listeners hearts, and her emotional range is wide. She is in tune with herself and her material and is a joy to hear!" – Will Crutchfield, New York Times

"She is a songwriter whose poetic, narrative, and compositional skills are comparable to such modern masters as Joni Mitchell and Paul Simon.” – Jazz Times
