"This woman's songwriting is like a big-wheel pushing a semi; there's something simple and playful behind a thundering, ground-shaking experience. "
- Krazy Cat, Krazy Cat Records
"The first song that came up is "Wonder Why I'm Here", and I immediately like and am drawn to the unique sound of the mandolin. Your deep and crystal clear vocals are very expressive! I like the message of your song and the organized form and story development. Good use of details and visual imagery! The production seems folky and deliberate with good dynamic builds throughout." - Kristin Cifielli Artist Development www.wearelistening.org

"I would describe your sound as classic folky singer/songwriter. The production uses characteristic acoustic instruments such as the mandolin and the harmonica. Your lyrics are wonderfully descriptive and creative. I LOVE "I'm spinnin' my wheels and pushing my luck". Fabulous. Your vocals have flavors of Ani Difranco (mostly because of how you pronounce words with an overly clear diction at times), Melissa Ferrick, Alanis Morissette (not just because you're canadian! Again, I think it's a diction thing), and even Lori McKenna at times. " - Kristin Cifielli Artist Development www.wearelistening.org
"Wow Toni....had the priviledge of listening to 'Pushing My Luck', it's a great feeling/really relate to song. Love the lyrics and the harmonica! To quote someone I spent a lot of time with in Fort Mac....'You're a rock star'!!!!"

"Vere’s sound ... folk-rock, with roots, blues and country elements that walk in between the riffs of her original music to create a gritty, hearty, honky-tonkin’ groove." "
- Lindsay Wilson, Calgary Blues Street (Jan 06, 2010)
" Her songs tell honest life stories that most anyone can relate to, infused with an on-stage vivacity that makes audience members sing along and tap their feet."
