"...Myrna has nothing but appreciation for the opportunity to be both a tribute artist and an original music artist. "...It's possible that Myrna Sanders feels this way because her own music is really good. Her debut CD, Riches to Rags is full of smooth, pop hooks in the ballpark of Sheryl Crow."

“Not only can leading lady Myrna Sanders sing from a long ranging, vocal spectrum (she’s not always in Joplin voice), she also can play rhythm guitar on a personality-fitting, chartreuse Gretsch. Depending on the current tune, she might swap the rhythm for a bass. The multi-talented firecracker leads a band that is just as talented.”

“At Love Street, however, we know and like Myrna best for her many visits to Texas Children’s Hospital and Shriners Hospital for Children and, of course, her time fronting the Love Street Band. Myrna has also been a key ambassador for the organization, promoting it both online through social media and also at some of the open mics she hosts.”

"Sanders’ original music is what she calls Texas blues rock, a typical “out of Austin sound,” she said. Later this month she’s planning to record her second album. “I don’t have a definite title yet, but I’m toying with a couple of things, like “this is not my first rodeo.”

"Folk-laden blues, rock-influenced ballads, and pop-flavored folk tunes are the order of the day on this disc. Don’t be fooled by genre labels, this is Texas music all the way!"

“Sanders plans to release a solo album in February 2012 on the Sugar Hill label. She told me that she has been saving notebooks full of lyrics since releasing her last solo work in 2004. When I inquired about her writing style, she responded in true Joplinesque form: “I’m not surreal or poetic. What comes out is what you get. I can’t write when I’m happy, only when I’m pissed.””

"They're also starting to notice Sanders. She was around before the relatively recent rise in popularity of female singers and has slid into it with ease."

“Myrna Sanders, lead singer of the Janis Joplin tribute band Kozmic Pearl, has always had love for music and listened to Janis Joplin, but it wasn’t until about six years ago after a gig at Houston’s Fitzgerald’s that she would start one of the best Janis Joplin tribute bands Joplin fans would ever hear.”

"Meanwhile, GoGirls monthly concert series at Houston's Rhythm Room has been gaining in popularity and has helped as a launching pad this summer for the recent debut CDs... from Joplinesque rocker, Myrna Sanders (Riches to Rags).
