“A new Karla Bonoff album is like hearing from an old friend you’ve missed and think of often. Her songs are comforting, familiar and timeless, and make us feel a part of them just by singing along.” – Performing Songwriter Magazine

“Her voice is perfection. She conjures memories… keeping alive the flames of her youth and dedication to other artists.” – Huffington Post

Karla Bonoff has been described as one of the finest singer-songwriters of her generation, and, in her case, the description is not exaggerated. With a career spanning four decades, Bonoff has enjoyed critical acclaim, commercial success, enduring popularity, and the unwavering respect of her peers. In addition to her own chart success with recordings such as “Personally” and the Footloose single “Somebody’s Eyes,” Karla has seen many of her ballads become pop classics, and songs such as “Tell Me Why” become hits for such stellar artists as Wynonna Judd, Bonnie Raitt, and Linda Ronstadt.
