"Soul-singer, rock goddess, stylist, personality that blows through your speakers forcing you to listen, all of these are Loralee."
- Stephony Smith, Warner Chappell Songwriter

"Loralee's voice is the embodiment of her spirit... big, lusty, and filled with love. She is a force of nature."
 - Jeffrey Cohen

"The first time I heard Loralee sing was about six years ago at a songwriter conference. I was blown away. To this day, I've not heard a voice so distinctive and powerful."
- Stephanie Cox, Larga Vista Publishing, Nashville

"...for female vocals, I called upon Bay Area veteran Loralee Christensen, one of the most professional -- and powerful -- singers I have had the opportunity to work with..."
- Brian Knave, Electronic Musician (February 1998)

"She started singing at an early age. Every night in her crib, she would treat us to a rousing performance of 'Rock-A-Bye Baby,' followed by her own applause, and topped off with a gracious 'Thank you... Thank you very much!' That's when we knew a star was born..."
- Janet and Chris Christensen, Mom and Dad

"Loralee not only has a great voice, but has the ability to own the song. She lends great depth and power to a performance and I have seen her bring the house down on more than one occasion."
- Andre Pessis

"If only we could get her to wear a dress..."
-Barry Schiffman, Northern Lights Recording Artist


Excerpt from an interview that took place with Davey Pattison to promote his album "Pictures" (which is really good, by the way!):

Steve:  Who were the back-up singers? They did an excellent job.

Davey:   On "Judas" there was Loralee Christensen, and my old pal Mike Duke doing  the "gospel choir." Mike used to play keyboards for Delbert McClinton, and  believe me, is a great singer in his own right. Loralee is just fabulous! She just comes in, hears the song, and asks how many harmonies we want !!!  I first met her years ago when I was doing vocals for commercials. Loralee is someone who is so talented, and certainly deserves a solo career.
