spacerQUOTES FROM THE CRITICS

“BACA's first annual Songwriters Showcase features, among other composers, songs by Dennis Livingston - including the bittersweet, highly visual, almost filmic ‘A Misty Day In Istanbul’ gorgeously sung by Brian De Lorenzo."
— Beverly Creasey, Theater Mirror

"’An Ordinary Day’ details beauty and appreciation in the commonplace, with lyrics that weave a vividly visual tapestry."
— Tom Kelly, San Francisco Bay Times, reviewing Vandana Bali's show at The Plush Room (San Francisco)

“‘It’s Time For Roses’ is a captivating story song with some word choices that got my ear (I like hearing ‘zen’ and ‘Bartok’ in this tale of a well-read but isolated person finding a new love).”
— Rob Lester, TalkinBroadway.com, reviewing Lua Hadar’s “It’s About Time”
