“Tate is a high-octane dramatic singer, assigning a mix of standards, theatre tunes, and contemporary songs to illustrate the diverse loves that connect us. Possessing a voice that is more powerhouse than pretty, Tate grabs the listener’s attention and holds tight….she releases a theatrical strength to charge the lyrics…a snappy, passionate show...”

“A self-assured, in-command vocalist with a wide range of emotions as well as vocal range…Tate made an impressive showing with her comedic and dramatic skills. Everything she went for she achieved, from a riotous "Bar Mitzvah Shiksa Mama" (Raible-Tate), about the madness planning her son's upcoming event, to an evocative "All the Way" (Cahn-Van Heusen) filled with heart. Reprising Brel's "Marieke," which is becoming a mainstay in her shows, was her most poignant moment. This mournful ode to a lost one can be tricky in the wrong hands. I know of some major vocalists who could take lessons from Tate on how to interpret this powerful song. She created a fierce crescendo that cried out in defiance and pain.”

Any composer, lyricist, or composer-lyricist would be thrilled to have this woman performing his or her material, as Tate is one of those rare artists who sings with abandon—and the notes are just there. A reliable voice is one thing, but this one has power, texture, and a beautiful tone to round out the vocal package. Oh...and Tate can act, too. … Tate sings with so much passion and pizzazz…You'll be thunderstruck by her voice.”
