Press:

“Putnam’s voice floated in and tugged at the heartstrings. Her sound could only be described as rich and chocolatey; a pure tone that was as soul-satisfying as a mug of hot cocoa on a chilly winter morning.”
Ginger Schmidt - Picayune Item

“Vocalist Richelle Putnam ended the 10 -second silent tribute with “America The Beautiful”, and there was not a dry eye to be seen in the Roxy as Ms. "Putnam’s gentle soul penetrating voice resonated within the walls of the historic old theatre."”
Ralph Gordon - Newton Record
