“Jennifer Cook was the highlight performance of the singer/songwriter showcase this evening. Her passionate voice and energetic guitar helped to captivate the audience along with her interjection of wit.”

“Ms. Cook is one of the best vocal talents in Austin. Her soulful singing and musical talent left me wanting for more. She is, perhaps, one of the best kept secrets in the Austin music scene. I can't wait to see her next show.”

“Poetic and grippingly beautiful songs.”

 

“Jennifer Ellen Cook's smartly written pop songs and dynamic vocal range have been earning her enthusiastic response. On stage, Cook displays a wicked sense of humor and a strong presence. These attributes, in addition to her striking red hair, have led one observer to describe her as ‘Sheryl Crow meets Jessica Rabbit.’”

“Flawlessly arranged songs...a refreshingly-unaffected, endearingly-pretty voice.”
Jason Cohen, Austin Chronicle

“No kidding, Jennifer Cook is the whole package. She's got star-quality, stage presence, strong guitar playing and a whole batch of smartly-written songs that draw on folk, rock and pop. Not to mention, she's got one of the best voices in town. Highly recommended.”
Mike's Feedback Mag

“Jennifer Cook has a terrific voice, but it's her intelligent and articulate lyrics that make her shine. A dynamic performer, she writes the kind of intelligent, literate, song-centered acoustic music that flourishes on London's circuit, in which she'd be a natural star.”

Well-crafted ear candy that Squeeze or David Byrne would write if they didn't spend so much time trying to impress us with clever wordplay. And neither has vocals quite like Cook's wondrous range and tone. Onstage she is energetic and self-assured without resorting to cockiness.”
Austin Chronicle

“Strong vocals, precise songs... highly recommended.”
