"Cold Spring Tavern was awash in a warm glow and mellow vibes as Kate Bennett and Jeff Bisch entertained a full house in the last "Music on the Mountain" concert series for the year...the folk style of Bennett and Bisch worked magic on all who were brave enough to go out on such a cold and rainy night." Santa Ynez Valley News January 10, 2002
&…the album grows more intriguing with repeated listening, when it begins to reveal its subtle charms and influences…country-inflected soft rock, bluesy rock, and adult alternative pop…” “Her vocals are beautiful, clear and strong…lyrically, it's a work of art overall…. brilliant writing…from haunting and sad to up-beat…” “45 minutes after Kate’s CD finally spun itself to a stop, I was a fan. Her voice shines like sun on honey sometimes. I thoroughly enjoyed this one because it’s more than folk…the music has a richer texture…” “And when the warm and flowing layers of ethereal vocal harmonies are drifting through your mind after listening to her CD, Over the Moon, you'll get the idea, and more importantly, you'll experience the feeling, of finding your way through some enchanted place.” "...Over the Moon has the unity one expects of any well-crafted work of art, it is also a broadly eclectic collection of songs... a strange, delightful stew that's sure to enchant the listener." http://www.communication.ca/soundbytes/ go to new reviews & then click Over the Moon
“the vocals show a great combination of clarity and vulnerability…an album which shows excellent songwriting craft and production values. I was reminded of touches of many artists whilst listening to this album…Fleetwood Mac, All About Eve, Shawn Colvin, Joni Mitchell and Enya…if you like ethereal folk-pop then Kate Bennett is an artist worth checking out, and Over the Moon is a fine showcase for her talents. “ “reminiscent of Joni and Shawn …Kate's voice (not to mention songwriting talents) lift the album into "must" territory” The Old Grey Cat's Unofficial CSN/Y Pages
“Sweet ballad orientated contemporary folk. Like a faint floral fragrance, Kate’s music drifts in and offers a treat to your senses. Tender, warming songs that have a natural flow. Special guest appearance by Kenny Loggins and Jeff Pevar.” Songwriter’s Monthly, August 2000 “ There are also a number of good discs in the singer/songwriter category. Kate Bennett is a Santa Barbara-based artist whose album, Over the Moon, reveals her ability as a good writer and a powerful vocalist. The baker’s dozen cuts here have a country folk-rock base, but are enlivened by some sophisticated and contemporary arrangements. Heavy-hitting friends Jim Messina, Jeff Pevar and Kenny Loggins make cameo appearances. Of Bennett’s quality songs, the most impressive are the rhythmic title cut, the superb ballad “Promise Me” and the endearingly melodic “Buddha” Relix Magazine, December 2000 “…radiant…and the themes surround incidents, memories and moments plucked from a lifetime of living from her heart and close to the land." Montecito Journal, 1-15 September 1999
