“...While Gauthier played the traditional folk instruments acoustic guitar and harmonica, the set was sweetened by the addition of the uber-talented Tania Elizabeth on fiddle... Gauthier closed the set in humble fashion by yielding the stage to Elizabeth who dazzled the crowd with a blistering reel and brought us all to our feet for a massive ovation as the two performers bowed from stage smiling ear to ear.” - Tim Dwenger, ListenUpDenver.com

"...Tania Elizabeth... sent horsehair flying with her fiddling. An intuitive player, she shifts between dramatic pedal distortion, classical bowing and chopping. There are moments she’s completely engaged with the crowd or the band and many where we lose her as she ascends to another place ― completely consumed by her craft. It’s a joy to behold. Her harmonies complement and add another layer to the already teeming spectrum." - Jessica Dean

"This is the second year in a row that Tania Elizabeth changed the Smithers Festival from being a bit better than staying at home to a truly memorable experience. Last year it was not just her skill, but her enthusiasm that was inspirational. This year, wow, what a show! She had easily the best band there, (and) was the best from a listener's perspective." - Rob MacDonald
