Quotes from Blogs and Magazines:
'Courney’s voice was strikingly unique, if you can imagine a combination of Cindy Lauper’s silky tone with the sweet quality of Dolly Parton’s upper register.' *NEMM Blog. *
'Cortney’s strength lies in her unique vocal style and has potential to reach greater heights'
'Cortney Dixon, a stylistically aware youth ( in both her aesthetics and music), was next to the stage bringing a rather baroque alternative to the former acoustic acts; resonating somewhere in between Siouxsie Sioux and Kate Bush, in the most interesting of ways. Of all the respectively talented people playing that evening, Dixon was the one who left the biggest impression on me. Her music felt melodically and thematically unique, mature and conceptually intricate. ' *NE Volume Magazine. *
