“Willa Mamet is blessed with a rich, warm, emotionally-packed, intimate voice. Her interpretations of other peoples’ songs are breathtaking. But it’s her own deeply felt and insightful songwriting and fearless, funny stage presence that has her star rising in an early evening sky. ”

“Willa defies stereotyping. You look at her and see an openly butch lesbian. When she talks on stage, she has the quick wit of Groucho Marx and the manner of a Borst Belt comic. As her musical partner Paul Miller said, he’s perfectly happy hearing her talk for the entire set. Then she sings and becomes a classic songstress with a beautiful voice that totally sells the song. When she sings about a tree, you really feel the tree. She’s pretty much designed for me to love.”
