"Her self-released "There, but for You, Go I" is one of this year's
hidden gems, an album of gentle folk-pop with not only her sweet
vocals, but Ashford playing autoharp, dulcimer, even toy piano. Listen
especially to the understatedly tough 'Brooklyn Lullaby.' "
-- oregonlive.com



"Brooklyn based singer Brittain Ashford
makes spare, gorgeous folk songs, with a crystalline coldwater voice
and various pluckings from autoharps and dulcimers. Here's a seasonally
appropriate song from her Hinah session recorded in France back in
March (you can hear more here); it's a song that doesn't appear on her fantastic, haunting record There, But for You, Go I—but
I can't think of a better song to listen to as my circulation slows to
a crawl and my extremeties become numb. She'll be in town next week
playing a show with Shelley Short. Hopefully things will be warmer by
then, but Ashford's nourishing voice is capable of generating its own
heat." -- Ned Lannamann, Portland Mercury
