Lowly Violet Press Quotes:
"Lowly Violet, the 45-year-old singer/songwriter's latest effort, includes eight tunes showcasing her affecting voice and emotional lyrics. Cuts like 'Fire' and 'The Dream' sometimes suggest the gritty energy of Melissa Etheridge, at other times the studied nuance of Martha Wainwright. Happily, they're at all times pleasing and profound."
- Jeff Berkwits, Illinois Entertainer (June 2010)

Regarding "Fire" from Lowly Violet: "Here's something I dug up in putting together this past Sunday's show on women in Chicago music and dug it so much I wanted to play it as a 'Capsule' this week."
- Richard Milne, host of Local Anesthetic and Local Anesthetic Capsule, WXRT-FM, Chicago

"Lyrically astute Americana folk from an intelligent middle-aged woman’s perspective; a welcome change to the suddenly male-dominated genre."
- Smother Magazine (www.Smother.net)

"Over a well-made bed of spare Americana Ms. Greenholdt's lovely voice lets loose with some faerie-like olde time music that would make her the perfect muse for a Knight of the Roundtable."
- Jake Austen, Roctober Magazine (August 8, 2010)

Other Recent Press Quotes:
"['Summer's Through'] is just a gorgeously understated piece of songwriting....[Wake-Up Prayer] has been in the pile of must-listen-to-them-again CDs for ages....I ended up playing it five times in a row, so apologies to the nextdoor neighbor."
- Steve Lamacq, BBC Radio 2

"[Greenholdt's] voice really stands out when coupled with a band that takes a Midwestern roots-rock approach to Americana. [Wisdom Days] is an outstanding record."
- Roctober Magazine
