Her repertoire of Celtic, Renaissance, and American Folk is an ideal medium, blessed as it is with a fluidity and transcendence that allows her listeners to rejoin the distant parts of our historic cultural tapestry. By accompanying herself on lute she is able to perform Renaissance and Celtic ballads, dance tunes, and instrumentals.
Sean Fullerton, Music Writer & Producer writes: "Doris's naturalness and ease
in sharing definitely helps others
to be themselves, to open up.
One of the most refreshing things
about her nature is the way she lives out loud, unashamed.
Whenever
I'm tempted to hide my talents under
a blanket, I think of how
she walks out
on stage without props and bares her
soul with a single line of melody.
. .
She's an inspiration. . .
Without question, Doris is one of the most gifted artists working today. Whether singing Elizabethan folk tunes or classical arias, playing jazz piano or writing singularly
original songs, this soulful young woman is an unstoppable force of creation."
