"...turns pebbles of everyday life into dreamy mountains of song".
The Toronto Star

"Man, can this serene red head ever play guitar".
See Magazine, Edmonton

"...an absolutely transcendent concert...she exudes sheer kindness and love...blessedly, refreshingly, a truly Canadian original".
THE CHRONICLE JOURNAL, Thunder Bay, ON

“Wheatley, sporting a beautiful voice and heady guitar work, brought the house down with her stunningly intimate musical meanderings. Her voice and guitar work drew the crowd in from the moment she started to sing. Her witty repartee gave these songs a footing from whence to fly. And fly she did!”
THE EXAMINER, Peterborough, ON

"This is a performer to keep you on the edge of your seat!"
