The strength of her songs lies in the the melodies that seem to float into the ear and do not easily disappear.  The most catchy earwigs on her debut are the opening track “Going Home”, “Poetry of Life” and the ballad “Up In The Air”.  We also quite enjoy the bluesy track “101” .........Michelle McAfee will soon be making choices about the direction of her future career development.  Based on the quality of her debut album “Up In The Air”, ‘Singer’ would be an obvious answer.        ~RootsTime (Netherlands)

"Michelle McAfee steps into her own, toward a place where fans of Patty Griffin, Jenny Lewis and KT Tunstall will gravitate seamlessly.  Her mystic songs and tender acoustic guitar bring a sense of closeness... [Up In The Air] Will have your hearts beating right in time...."                                                    ~Elmore Magazine

"....the Sutler has alternated local performers with national acts like red-hot bluesman Luther Allison, singer-songwriter Dar Williams, and rockabilly/swing outfit Big Sandy and His Fly-Rite Boys, all of whom lured large audiences to the club. An appearance at last year’s NEA Extravaganza by Joe Ely and Greg Garing was one of the event’s best-attended shows. On the local scene, Leipziger points proudly to such Sutler-sponsored talents as Buddy Miller, Darrell Scott, Steve Conn, Alisa Carroll, Michelle McAfee, Greg Barnhill and Walter Hyatt as proof of the club’s high caliber of performers......."           ~Nashville Scene

"Raw simplicity and potent song writing with a lush, unique voice give Michelle McAfee a magnetic sound.  She left the arms of a professional song writing career as a signed staff writer for Warner-Chappell Music and Sony/Maypop Music which yielded several cuts and a top 5 charting single, then fell into the world of Indie Folk/Rock. This is an authentic artist with an original voice and something to say.  Extensive performing experience in clubs such as The Knitting Factory, The Whisky, The Gig, headlining shows consistently in Los Angeles and opening for artists such as Michelle Branch at The Roxy have given her a captivating, confident presence on stage."                                                                                                                                                                                                        ~Live at the Lounge
