“Emmylou Harris, Dolly Parton, June Carter, Kate Grom. Strong women with strong songs and strong voices singing about being strong. Kate Grom can proudly stand in that group. Her music speaks for itself. Take a listen; you’ll never be same.”
“'Heroine' is a beautiful collection of listening songs. No frills, but only music from the heart, supported by sometimes sparing backing. Americana, folk and country that sounds like a lonely and extinct prairie with only yourself as a company. Sharp, moving and personal. Only criticism: unfortunately the album contains only nine songs. Given the splendor of the album, it could have been more, much more.”
“The country-tinged tune shows off Grom’s vocal prowess as she sings of the intoxicating feeling of connecting with someone. It’s a soft tune that has a subtle power and manages to pull your heartstrings.”
“Her words are personal yet vague, a factor that contributes to the elusive and powerful nature of the song…fans looking to catch a fine arrangement of introspective lyrics and memorable guitar-playing would be wise to heed the “whistle cry” of Kate Grom’s latest offering.”
“The record is very much “old school,” in that it has style, not repetition. All songs sound like Kate Grom but none sound the same, and that’s very refreshing.”
“She writes from the heart and the songs reflect it. The songs are brothers and sisters, first cousins and moms and dads. They are warmth even when the subject matter is not, comfortable in their familiarity.”
Vents Magazine interviews Kate.
“Heroine finds Kate picking up the mantle from the Loretta Lynn & Tammy Wynette schools of sound that adheres to the pantheon of icons that once made their debut at the Grand Ole Opry. “
“Ms. Grom excels in portraying just how valuable the exploration of the heart and mind actually is, life is an adventure, why do we only see it as a chance to make corporations rich and Governments applaud themselves for keeping us tied to a rock. Hero’s come and go but a Heroine - she is the true master of story-telling.”
“…Ms. Grom puts it all out there; the players are right there with her and makes this a breezy joy and one to return to over and over. That kind of formidable core only strengthens the notion that already, Ms. Grom is a force to be reckoned with.”
“ Heroine is a gorgeous and comforting collection of consistently hauntingly beautiful tracks… Kate’s artistry has enabled her to blend the deepest roots of folk music with a traditional tone of country music and Americana, producing some of the most emotive, captivating and affecting music I have heard in a long time.”
“The album has nine emotional, soulful songs that are beautifully arranged, wonderful instrumentation all the way down to the steel pedal guitar; and I believe this debut album will be a hit for Kate Grom.”
“With music described as a strong mix of folk, country and Americana with a dash of classic pop thrown in for good measure, Kate crosses genre barriers and touches the spirits of those who listen.”
