On Mara Levine and Terry Kitchen 

"The combination of Mara Levine and Terry Kitchen is a powerful one. Not only is it always a pleasure to hear two very good singers together, but Mara and Terry's harmonies are truly exceptional and even produce the occasional goose bumps that you only experience when something very special is happening musically. This could not occur, of course, without the wonderful musicality of Terry's guitar and his songs which touch on the universal themes of life in a very personal…

"I have had the pleasure of booking Mara Levine twice now for our songwriter house concert series. Although our series is dedicated to showcasing songwriters, Mara is an exceptional song interpreter and she champions lesser known and emerging songwriters as well as more established songwriters in the folk genre. She always has an impeccable ear for finding just the right song for her audience as well as her voice. Mara's singing is always flawless as is the material she chooses. Very well received and…

Christine Lavin called Mara Levine, “one of the best singers of her generation,” and David Amram called the international touring artist and jewelry designer a “Golden Voice.” Mara considers herself to be a song interpreter, and is considered by many to be an exceptional song-finder. Rather than…

When Chris Lavin and David Amram are saying ‘looky here', we're going to look. On her third album, Levine marks her territory as the new standard bearer for folk music with this classically framed set that finds her interpreting worthy modern classics, protest music and some of the sweetest vocalizing you'll find this side of the golden sounds of the 60s. A flat out winner throughout, this isn't about lo-fi, nostalgia or what ever---it's a delightful slice of the here and now hitting the nail right on the…
