Heather’s unique delivery combines the influences of a fragile Irish air, the warm effervescence of upbeat Americana, soulful country and mournful blues. Her voice ensures these songs hit that place in your chest where emotions reside. -Tim Carroll, FolkWords (folkwords.com, UK)

Stories are often lurking behind the lyrics of a song - sometimes obscurely so. But fine and direct storytelling... is a special art when it comes to songwriting. And it's that kind of artistic mastery that poet and folksinger Heather Styka displays. - Butch Kara, KZGM-FM (Cabool, MO)

Heather knows the most beautiful and intriguing stories to convey.... [a] singer with the golden throat. - Johan Schoenmakers, AltCountry Forum (altcountryforum.nl, Netherlands)

...Inspiring...truly a breath of fresh air. - Henry Hallett, KXCI-FM (Tuscon, AZ)

A fine chronicler of the vast American prairies, and the people who live on them. - Tom May, River City Folk (nationwide)
