“Magnificent!”

—Jon Faddis, Grammy nominated jazz trumpet player

“[Schmidt’s] voice is blessed with a natural warmth that flits between tender softness and soaring intensity, while her acoustic guitar work anchors each song with organic emotion.”

— Earmilk

“[Overthinker] draws serious firepower around [Schmidt’s] vision…It’s a richly layered set that rewards close listening.”

— That Eric Alper
