EG Kight's refreshing twist on blues music is earthy as well as explosive. She is a powerhouse performer with tremendous style, and her songs are exciting, comforting and exceptionally polished. Kight pours her soul into every note she sings, struts her vocals with confidence, and brings the listener to their knees with her powerful lyrics.

Blues Revue Magazine states "Kight's beautiful, smoky contralto sounds like Phoebe Snow with a sprinkling of Etta James, with every nuance clean and distinctive... Kight will be an unstoppable force."

Living Blues Magazine says "...her high energy contralto vocals are right on the mark..."

Taylor Guitars magazine states "Whenever a blues artist comes along with something fresh and personal to say, it's cause for celebration. Let us now celebrate EG Kight..."

And Sing Out! Magazine writes "Kight's is a voice to be reckoned with, no matter the genre."
