"Bernice is a voice full of light and hope. She is one of the keepers of the flame of Real Songwriting."
Rosanne Cash


“Bernice's life is filled with beautiful, deep things, and she writes beautifully and deeply about them. "Good Kind of Love to Be In" is wonderful; spoke right to my heart! Great, jazzy cover of "A Case of You". Musically and vocally, she has new wings with the genres she's been exploring.”
Dar Williams


“An enlightening presence...”
Steve Morse

“It is impossible not to have a good time listening to Lewis sing.”
Scott Alarik

“Bernice Lewis may well be the frosting on the cake!”
Rod Kennedy, Director
Kerrville Folk Festival
Kerrville, Tx


“Bernice Lewis should be investigated by major labels if they can spare the
time from signing groups who sound like the Beatles.”
John Tobler
Folk Roots Magazine, UK


“Lewis' lake-clear voice and satisfying mix of heartfelt and humorous
compositions make her worth hearing. Again and again.”
David Steinberg
Albuquerque Journal


“Bernice packed the Threadgill Theatre to capacity and wound up with a
standing ovation and a pair of encores. She wowed the crowd with funny
stories and her wry insights. I loved the show from beginning to end.”
Alan Roweth, Moderator
Folk Music Digest


“Autumn must be nature's attempt to imitate Bernice's
voice: vivid contrasts, intense hues and bright spendor. Voices
of such quality are of the "once in a generation" variety. Unlike
similarly gifted female vocalists (Mary Black, Maura O'Connell)
who are exclusively singers and interpreters of songs, Lewis has
a real flair for songwriting as well.”
Shawn Linderman
Folk Music Digest


“In the forefront of her generation of singer-songwriters.”

uppermost ranks of the new folk crowd...”

Boston Phoenix
