The LA Times says she “sounds like no one else.” NPR’s All Songs Considered calls her “a national treasure.” On the stage and on the page, Dessa’s style is defined by ferocity, wit, tenderness, and candor.Incredible gravitas and presence and humanity. There’s just so much intelligence to everything she does. – NPR, All Songs ConsideredOne of the most anomalous artists in music today. – NPR, World CafeSound the Bells launches Dessa to the top of a vaunted class that features the likes of The Who, Sting, and Peter Gabriel. – SalonThere’s nobody quite like Dessa and no book quite like “My Own Devices.” It’s funny, heartbreaking and brilliantly written, and very possibly the best memoir by a musician since Patti Smith’s “Just Kids.” – Star Tribune Like no one else – Los Angeles TimesA force of nature – Sound Opinions
