When Reyna sings, you see her soul. ~ Jay Fogus, upstate NY musician
I became a fan of Reyna's the first time I heard her sing. Wonderful story songs; Reyna paints pictures with words. Beautiful mandolin and tenor guitar; a unique, recognizable sound. Nicely done! ~ Todd Hobin, award winning composer, singer/songwriter, founder of the legendary Todd Hobin Band
Reyna is one of our favorites. Her lyrics and angelic voice bring us to places near and far that feel like home even if we've never been! Delivered with a kind and gentle smile, Reyna puts beautiful songs in the air. Michelle Connelly, director Earlville Opera House
