Media Response:
"...That Stephanie Bettman has reached a level comparable to others like Emmylou Harris, Joan Baez and Allison Krauss so quickly is a bit uncanny. Get Close to Me is an album that deserves a place of honor in any collection of CDs held by fans of singer/songwriters." -- Country Jukebox Germany
"...Bettman’s singing recalls the soaring soprano of Joan Baez or the distinctive phrasing of Frances Black... She’s mastered that bluegrass art of pairing a dark lyric with a powerful upbeat melody. It will be interesting to see how her musical career evolves. She’s an artist to watch."- by kerry dexter in All News, Entertainment, Music Reviews, Reviews, Society and Culture
