".....Bishop is a vocalist and acoustic guitarist of considerable strength and passion,
and her songwriting is deep, and thoughtful - and hopeful,
which makes her something of an uncommon delight
in this era of mopey and fatalistic musical wordsmithery. "
- Bill Deyoung / CONNECT, Savannah -
“.....Joni Bishop's country/folk style draws comparisons to Joan Baez.....
unaffected delivery, and a warmth that's lacking
in much popular music today.”

"....a female James Taylor. The songs are uniformly bright and melodic, touching on aspects of the human condition, and definitely easy to listen to.”
~ Steven E. McDonald, ALL MUSIC GUIDE -
On Joni’s songwriting:
" ‘Wild Blossoms’...has been recorded by a number of well known artists
including one of my favorites, Sara Watkins of Nickel Creek.
...an exquisitely crafted song!”

“I wasn't familiar with the work of Joni Bishop, so I had no idea what a treat I was in for when I first listened to Endless Christmas! ....these superb arrangements of Christmas favorites will spend a lot of time in my CD changer this season....she wraps her Christmas offering with unusual new upbeat tempos, creating a very expressive and pleasing gift....and she offers catchy arrangements of several new songs, including the title track (Endless Christmas).
I enjoyed listening to every song on the CD.....What a gem!”
