Fabulous, fabulous musician. Her band is superb. A live experience is essential, as are her Faye’s recordings. Follow her! See her! Enjoy her music! ‘ (Debbie Golt, Outerglobe, Resonance FM)

‘Solid Gold – essential feminine Steely Dan for the 21st century’ (Jazz singer, Sue McCreeth)

‘Crisply soulful … Patton’s compositions are strong, her lyrics intriguing, her playing pleasingly angular. A definite stand-out from the crowd.’ (Jazzwise Magazine)

‘Smoke-fuelled and chameleon-like…supreme effort of both freeform and choreographed musicianship.’
(Gareth Hayes,Rock n’ Reel)
