"When Shirleta Settles sings, EVERYONE listens!!! Equally at home with Blues, Jazz, Soul and R&B, this small package of a lady embodies what it is to be the consummate musician and entertainer.... Volumes could be written about her performances, but they are all most often summed up by those who have seen her with just one word, “WOW!!!” - Bethesda Blues & Jazz Supper Club
