notes
Here's what the critics say about Phoebe Legere...
"Gorgeous, blonde bombshell with a dynamite body, a magnificent voice, a wild sense of humor... (She is) an extremely intelligent Vassar graduate who can play four or five instruments and challenge every premise you might have about her as she zips through her set - her song selections are impeccably chosen. (She has) a dazzling voice - a superb singer miles above most of the rock stars of today...a comic mind...She turns excess and extravagance into an art form and anchors it with stunning simplicity."
N.Y. Post
"A brilliant songwriter."
Where Magazine
"Fascinating...almost Sandy Dennyish...spellbinding"
Steve Morse, Boston Globe
"Perfection's name is Phoebe. She is beautiful, talented and sexy and by all rights should be a star... A great singer whose voice knows few limits - her band is excellent..."
Dan Aquillante, NY Post
" Legere's fine, four octave voice easily goes from horn like contralto to crystal soprano. There's a winsome sweetness...and an aching longing... rare originality and vitality..."
Variety
"A charismatic showman who works the audience with the razor edged skill of a veteran comic, poking, teasing, and caressing it with clever turns of phrase both musical and verbal... She plays the piano with enormous authority in a style that encompasses Chopin, blues, ragtime, bebop, and beyond, and she brings to her vocal delivery a four and a half octave range, an extraordinary palette of tonal color and meticulous phrasing."
Proctor Lippincott, New York Times
"Sitting down at the grand piano Legere launched into a hard driving incredible boogie woogie... Phoebe Legere is a talent to be reckoned with...a sharp wit permeates her lyrics... Vocally Legere possesses a powerful, precise 4 octave voice that is equally at home in the operatic style as it is singing lowdown blues... In two hours Phoebe Legere not only won a raft of new fans in Saratoga, she also demonstrated that talent, intelligence and sex appeal need not be mutually exclusive. Beyond the obvious attributes, it's Legere's warmth and exuberance that will prompt us to watch for her return."
Linda Ellingsworth, Saratoga Chronicle

- author: CD Baby
An artist whose repertoire includes slices of jazz, zydeco, rock and torch ballads. compared to everyone from Edith Piaf, to Brigitte Bardot, for her stunning looks and Playboy-centerfold body. Even Bjork can be brought into the comparison if you are looking at lyrical styles.
Buy it, what are you waiting for?
author: The Digital PlaygroundMdme. Legere is not only gifted vocally but musically. In a music world gone half mad with territorial lust, it is refreshing to find such a gifted individual who claims no ties to the industry lug heads, bean counters and lawyers who manipulate artists for their own ends. Listening carefully to the details encountered in the way she weaves her melodies and the manner in which she vocalizes makes one pause and reflect of what the other overproduced artists are trying to achieve. It is clear that we are dealing with a master here and she knows how to tap the reality of her viscera.
Genius songwriter
author: John Pitcher/ Washington PostHer music combines brilliantly intelligent lyrics and French musette, Cajun, pop, rock and jazz into a playful roots alternative stew. Legere is also an expressive and versatile singer whose voice ranges from a dark and earthy alto to a crystalline soprano. She belts out sultry Frech chansons and avant pop anthems with authority and conviction.
