“Sandra Piller gave new life to a series of songs written by Ruth Roberts, her late mother-in-law, in an evening recalling some terrific music recorded by some terrific artists that nevertheless may not have gotten the exposure it should have in its time. Roberts wrote music and lyrics with various partners — all of it very melodic and singable, managing to convey complex emotions in a simple, straightforward manner — and Piller was able to add her own twist to several of the songs with arrangements that belied a hint of the country style with which she is most comfortable. Piller also demonstrated a keen ability to delight an audience on several up-tempo songs.” — Cabaret Scenes
