“Melissa Young has one of the most powerful, sultry voices in the business and the rest of the band is just as polished. Along with the dual Guitars of Eric Henry and Casey Ott, Joe Edwards on Bass, and Aaron Hemmart on Drums; Miss Lissa and Company is old school, in your face blues. Armed with an array of tunes from Blues legends like Big Mamma Thornton, Etta James, Muddy Waters, Albert King, and more as well as originals like the title track of the bands CD called Back to You Mamma; Miss Lissa and Company bring passion and emotion to the blues. The combination of the talented Henry and Ott on Guitar is worth the price of admission and the chemistry of Young and Henry can be seen a mile away. This set was extremely intense set; this band will blow you away. ”

— Jimmy Cummings, Buckeye Music Magazine

“You were the best blues music (at the 2011 Cincy Blues Fest) last night! From the fantastic vocals, both guitarists, bass player and drummer too! A great combination of talent! After hearing you all together - any group that followed had my sister turning me to say - 'this isn't the blues - not true blues like Miss Lissa & Company!'”

— Joanne Bollmann, Facebook

“You Rock!! I finally got to hear you...and Casey..and Eric ...all of you together are like fireworks! Your voice is so powerful and you have such a charismatic stage presence- you are having a great time up there and it radiates to us...you are on fire!”

— Beverly Powers Wright, Facebook

“...Tony turned the microphone over to Melissa Young of Dayton’s own Miss Lissa & Company. Melissa has an awesome (voice) with amazing range, so with the return of Danny Sauers and the addition of Miss Lissa & Company’s Guitar player Eric Henry the music took on a new dimension and complexity. ”

— Jimmy Cummings, Buckeye Music Magazine

“Melissa Young a.k.a Miss Lissa this girl can lay some blues on ya! Miss Lissa & Company from Dayton Ohio is the real deal She can do Janis better than Janis.”

— Rev. Sean, The Gathering Spirit

“fantastic vocals with Miss Lissa channeling Etta James including growls and skating on the low end of the scales. She really poured herself out on stage gasping for air at the end of her set and the band sported several original tunes which can be found on their Facebook and MySpace pages.”
