Lyrically, her songs are reminiscent of both the droll styles of classic songwriters like Cole Porter and Blossom Dearie and the long, billowing narratives of 1960s folk artists such as Joni Mitchell. Her voice has the nostalgic quality of a vintage chanteuse, hinting at the torch singing of Billie Holiday, the wavering folk bellow of Maddy Prior, and the theatrical alto of a turn-of-the-century vaudevillian act. She is like a rainbow comprised of all the colors left over from many a rainy day- folk, Broadway show tunes, Brill-Building pop, jazz, blues, cabaret, and psychedelia are all influences on her music.
