PRESS QUOTES:

“…incendiary and eloquently literate folk and soul from one of Atlanta's busiest and brightest artists. While also internationally known as an activist and educator, Roberts' finest work is her intimate yet communal rapport with -- and command of -- an audience.” (Creative Loafing-Atlanta)

“Expect the best of Ani DiFranco merged with the sensual, earthy soul of Erykah Badu. But, her lush, tightly woven songs communicate and breathe instead of resorting to the heavy handed proselytizing of some her peers. Doria Roberts is a rare treat in an industry that so infrequently produces anything of real weight. This is music that gets under your skin. And that’s a good thing.” (Houston Voice)

“’Woman Dangerous’ is simultaneously modern and retro…embodies purity, yet also the grit of someone who has truly lived. Roberts crystal clear voice is a force to behold.” (Southeast Performer Magazine)
