Joyce Breach

"Joyce Breach has the most attractive sound of any female singer since
Rosemary Clooney."
-Margaret Whiting

"I absolutely love your voice, and I couldn't be more pleased that you chose Love Can Change the Stars and The Boy Next Door. You sang them enchantingly, and I could never hope for a better performance than these two. Much applause and admiration."
-Hugh Martin (from a private letter on
Reel Songs)

"A throaty peach named Joyce Breach has been adding a new luster to Manhattan's after-dark scene. Her husky voice, superb taste in songs, and unique way with a classy tune are worth waiting for."
-Rex Reed, NY Observer

"Joyce Breach has enough of Mabel Mercer's traits to qualify as a worthy acolyte...Breach has a warm,foggy voice that wraps itself comfortably around ballads that take the long view. Breach breathes into both songs (All in Fun and Lucky to Be Me) the kind of farsighted understanding that made Mercer the oracle that she was.
-Stephen Holden,The New York Times

"One of today's saloon-iest singers...a soothing,evocative,low-key jazz-pop interpreter. There may be singers as good on the local scene currently but surely none better."
-David Finkle, The Village Voice

Here's one of them. It's all direct and directly to the heart and soul." -David Finkle, The Village Voice "Like her mentor, Ms. Breach gets to the aesthetics of her repertoire, examining each stanza, turning both the rueful, obscure ballads...and the swinging vintage standards into one-act musical scenarios with polish and brio. Her singing is technically flawless and emotionally wrenching." -Rex Reed, New York Observer
