“…Sarena Paton’s gorgeously coloured, rich voice ….utterly secure exquisite spun gold woven on a loom of endless breath. .."
-Hugh Fraser, The Hamilton Spectator
“…In particular, her rendition of the Hoagy Carmichael / Jane Brown Thompson piece 'I Get Along Without You Very Well' was beyond reproach. The arrangement and interpretation showed her range and scope as a vocalist as well as her ability to truly capture the attentions of an audience.
